Once the contribution has been made, the individual’s State Pension payment is increased. UK State Pensions are payable worldwide but they are uprated abroad only where there is a legal requirement to do so. The reciprocal rights and entitlements that will apply following the UK’s exit from the EU are subject to the wider negotiations on our future relationship with the EU. We have not yet begun these negotiations, so it is not possible to set out any positions in advance.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 21/03/2017 14:26:18 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
