Petition against the removal of additional tax allowances for
pensioners.

Why would I want to do that?

It will do absolutely nothing to help those in real need.

All it will do is give more to those who already have enough to
benefit from said tax allowances.

How much do people need to get in order to benefit from the Age Allowance?

More that the normal nil tax band.

It has been presented wrongly by a PP, it isn't a benefit only received by
well off pensioners, it is a benefit received by pensioners receiving the
equivalent of "minimum wage", it is withdrawn from better off pensioners.
