- 57,874 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 65,546 - 70 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately. We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.

Stop Means Testing Pensioners and increase the State Pension
- 11,228 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,248 - 468 added in the past 24hrs)
We demand the government stop means testing pensioners, that we think is a degrading and humiliating practice. We also think the state pension should be increased.
We believe that for too long, our elderly have been portrayed by media as merely burdens on the NHS and the modern welfare state.

Create a fast-track system for benefit claims for cancer patients
- 3,788 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 8,301 - 29 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the benefits application system for cancer patients is not fit for purpose. We think it is over-complicated, upsetting, and adds high levels of stress. We would like the Government to create a fast-track system for all of those cancer patients who are seeking benefits.
Hold a Public Inquiry into the state pension age change for 1950s women
- 6,338 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 7,126 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that women affected by these changes were given inadequate notice of a further wait of up to six years to receive the State Pension. We believe a Public Inquiry is necessary to expose the truth.
Do not reduce the Right to Buy discount
- 3,614 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,402 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
Stop the reduction of the Right to Buy discount. The Government have said the maximum discount will be reduced to £16,000–£38,000 depending on the tenant's location. We think this is unfair because some people's only way only to get on the housing ladder is via Right to Buy.
Automatic fast track benefits for anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness.
- 1,774 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,881 - 27 added in the past 24hrs)
I call on the government to automatically fast track anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness, not just those in their final year of life, so they can get essential financial support. We think this would give people financial stability at the end of life & remove the financial stress & worry.
