PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR STATE RETIREMENT PENSION

Early day motion 1415, tabled 5 May 2009 by David Heyes (Labour). Signed by 49 members.

That this House believes that the state retirement pension should become payable from the actual date that a person reaches pensionable age, rather than from the first Monday thereafter, as is currently the case; and calls on the Government to take the necessary steps to facilitate payment of pension from the actual date that a person reaches the age of entitlement.
