I think it should be dependant on the roll and contribution to society.

Your Learn More is wrong: Currently, State Pensions for both sexes is not payable until 66 years old and is, indeed, currently gradually raising itself in 2 month increments until anyone born after 5th March 1961 won't get it until they are 67. You are right, however, about the eventual hike to 68.

Government workers are some of the highest paid pensioners not all admittedly but the large majority are so No, they should be reduced

 @9GBQSM8answered…3yrs3Y

No, it's has to be for everyone else too not just government workers. Not those who are politician though.

 @9DCJ78JLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

The pension rate should go up for all retired as Germany and Scandinavian countries offering an acceptable amount of money

 @9HTKK9Vanswered…2yrs2Y

All retired workers should receive a pension based on what they have put in. But this should be capped at a minimum threshold.

 @95FRM39answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but this should not be limited to government workers. All pensioners should be entitled to a means tested minimum livable pension.

 @93GT7XNanswered…4yrs4Y

No, pay all government workers more whilst in office but don’t allow them to participate in lobbying after retirement

Government works should receive pensions at the same rate as workers in the private sector for doing the same job at the same pay.

 @8KJS969answered…6yrs6Y

No, they should remain the same as they’d get via the law or what they would get via a private pension system or individual private pension. Pensions shouldn’t be increased just because they worked for the government.

Create a universal basic income. Pensions are one of the things that are made completely unnecessary once we have a UBI.

We should generate a wealth fund for pensioners. The revenue from oil and gas fracking should go towards the wealth fund.

 @98KN568answered…3yrs3Y

Pensions should be adjusted for every retired individual to meet the cost of living, so that they can get by in retirement

 @982VSRLanswered…4yrs4Y

Raised for low-wealth pensioners. Abolish for high-wealth pensioners

 @96Q83M5Labouranswered…4yrs4Y

Pensions need to be more progressive and those on the lowest incomes with the lowest assets of course need a greater rise. However, even for higher up the income bracket, without legislation otherwise funding should always be indexed to CPI

 @96N7ZNQanswered…4yrs4Y

 @93BD6FHGreenanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but adjust them yearly for cost of living and not for politicians

Create a universal basic income, after which the concept of pensions becomes redundant
