<p>The policy on the up-rating of UK State Pensions paid to recipients living in a
Commonwealth country is clear and is a long-standing policy of successive post-war
Governments that has been in place for over 70 years. The annual index-linked increases
are paid to UK State Pension recipients where there is a legal requirement to do so.
For example, where UK State Pension recipients are living in countries where there
is a reciprocal agreement that provides for the uprating of the UK State Pension.
The Government has no plans to change this policy.</p>
