A petition calling on the UK Government to set a minimum level for weekly State Pension payments of £416.80 for everyone over the age of 60 is due an official response.
Having now passed the 10,000 signature threshold which triggers an official response, the petition argues the new rates from April are "far too low". More than 22,800 people have already shown their support for the proposed changes.
The current State Pension payment rates are worth up to £185.15 for those on the New State Pension and up to £141.85 for people receiving the Basic State Pension, the Daily Record reports.
