Northern Ireland Pensioners Manifesto

Category: Politics
Region: All
Target: Northern Ireland MPs

All men and women shall be entitled to dignity, security, and fulfilment in retirement. We therefore demand that politicians should: 1. Commit to the Eradication of Pensioner Poverty by: 2. Increasing the basic state pension, paid alongside other existing entitlements to provide some financial security for all.3. Restoring the link with the higher of earnings or prices. Bringing forward the automatic payments of benefits. Increase the winter fuel grant to reflect the high energy prices and introduce a system to review the amount each year in relation to energy costs. Provide improved access to quality social and long-term care to maintain dignity in advanced years. 4. End unfair discrimination where it adversely affects the opportunities, goods and services available to older people.
