Military pensions are subject to income tax, and many state benefits are reduced due to income from military pensions, including the War Disablement Pension and associated supplements. We think all military pensions should be disregarded for calculating tax and other benefit entitlements.

Many PIP assessment decisions are overturned either at mandatory reconsideration or at a tribunal. This is a wasteful use of Government resources and causes unnecessary stress for claimants. We want fines to be levied on companies conducting PIP assessments if a decision is overturned on appeal.

Remove the need for employers to apply for work permits for staff under 16
- 35 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 190 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the Government should remove the need for employers to apply for work permits for their staff under 16. This should make it easier for younger people to experience working without needing a permit, and could open up more opportunities for them.
