A new online petition calls for the UK State Pension to be increased to £610 a week for people aged over 60. The proposal describes the change as a more “universal” State Pension, aiming to apply broadly to pensioners rather than limiting support to specific categories. Both outlets report that the petition links the suggested payment level to the National Living Wage, presenting it as a basis for setting the weekly amount. The campaign also argues that the increase should extend to British citizens living abroad in retirement, according to one of the articles. The petition’s aim is to urge the government to raise pension payments at the proposed level. The reporting does not indicate any official government response within the articles. Instead, the focus is on public advocacy through the petition and its requested policy shift.
