They're not happy with a new law called Finance Act 2025.
They feel it treats some pensioners differently, giving them less money than others.
These pensioners protested and asked the government to change the law to give everyone the same benefits.
They also want the government to stop being able to stop giving extra money, like Dearness Relief.
