A new online petition is pushing for three major changes to the state pension system which would update the state pension age, payment rates and include expats. The official petition, created by Denver Johnson, can be found on the Parliament website .

Under this proposal, state pension payments would rise to £568.08 per week, some £30,476 each year. People would also be able to access this fund from the age of 60 instead of the current state pension age of 66.

The petition currently has 3,340 signatures at the time of writing. At 10,000 signatures, the petition would be entitled to a written response from the UK Government, the Daily Record reports. At 100,000 it would be considered by the Petitions Committee for debate in Parliament, and you can read it in full here .
