<p>The Government has not made an assessment of the All-Party Parliamentary Group
on Frozen British Pensions 2020 inquiry or its findings. The UK State Pension is payable
worldwide to those who meet the qualifying conditions. It is up-rated where there
is a legal requirement to do so, for example, where recipients are living in countries
where there is a reciprocal agreement that provides for up-rating. The Government
has no plans to change the policy on up-rating UK State Pensions overseas; the policy
is longstanding and has been supported by successive Governments for over 70 years.
The Government understands that people move abroad for many reasons and that this
can have an impact on their finances. However, the decision to move abroad remains
a personal choice. Advice that the UK State Pension is not up-rated overseas except
where there is a legal requirement has been provided to the public for many years.
Information is provided in leaflets and on gov.uk.</p>
