All political parties since WW2 have<\/del> Successive post-war Governments have followed<\/ins> the same policy. Up-rating UK State Pensions for recipients who are overseas residents is longstanding; state Pensions are payable worldwide and are up-rated where there is a legal requirement to do so.<\/p>

<\/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\u2019s 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 upheld by all previous Governments, Labour, Coalition and Conservative for the past 70 years.<\/ins> of all Governments, Labour, Coalition or Conservative since WW2.<\/del><\/p>
