<p>The policy on the up-rating of UK State Pensions paid to recipients living outside
the UK has been in place for over 70 years. The UK State Pension is payable worldwide
without regard to nationality. Entitlement to the UK State Pension is based on the
national insurance contributions on a person’s national insurance record. The annual
index-linked increases to UK State Pensions are paid to recipients overseas only where
there is a legal requirement to do so, for example in EEA countries or in countries
where there is a reciprocal agreement in place that provides for the up-rating of
the UK State Pension. The Government has no plans to change the policy of all Governments,
Labour, Coalition or Conservative since WW2.</p>
