State Retirement Pensions: British Nationals Abroad
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will review the Government's policy on uprating the State Pension for people living overseas.
- Answer
-
There are no plans to review the policy on up-rating the UK State Pensions Overseas.
UK State Pensions are payable worldwide, without regard to nationality, and are only uprated abroad where there is a legal requirement to do so, for example in countries with which we have a reciprocal agreement that provides for up-rating.
The policy on the uprating of UK State Pensions paid overseas is a longstanding one.
