<p /> <p>There are 14 British Overseas Territories: Anguilla; Bermuda; the British
Antarctic Territory; the British Indian Ocean Territory; the British Virgin Islands;
Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; the Pitcairn Islands; St.
Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands;
the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus (Akrotiri and Dhekelia); and the Turks and Caicos
Islands.</p><p>Information on the Overseas Territories in which UK state pensions
are paid and the number of cases in payment is available at: <a href="http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/100pc/sp/cccountry/cnage/a_carate_r_cccountry_c_cnage_may14.html"
target="_blank">http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/100pc/sp/cccountry/cnage/a_carate_r_cccountry_c_cnage_may14.html</a></p><p>The
tabulation tool distinguishes between those countries where the state pension is up-rated
and those countries where the state pension is ‘frozen’. Up-rated state pensions are
payable to people living in Bermuda, Gibraltar and the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus.
However it is possible that in some cases state pensions paid in countries where the
state pension is ‘frozen’ will be up-rated, for example when someone is only visiting
the Territory.</p>
