answer text

UK State Pensions are payable worldwide and up-rated overseas where there is a legal requirement to do so – for example where there is a reciprocal agreement in place that allows for up-rating. The policy on up-rating is longstanding and has been supported by successive Governments for over 70 years. The Government has no plans to change this policy. The UK has reciprocal social security agreements, which provide State Pension up-rating, with the following authorities: <ul><li>Barbados</li><li>Bermuda</li><li>Bosnia-Herzegovina</li><li>Gibraltar</li><li>Guernsey</li><li>the Isle of Man</li><li>Israel</li><li>Jamaica</li><li>Jersey</li><li>Kosovo</li><li>Mauritius</li><li>Montenegro</li><li>North Macedonia</li><li>the Philippines</li><li>Serbia</li><li>Turkey</li><li>USA</li></ul> The UK also has agreements in place with the European Economic Area and Switzerland which provide for State Pension up-rating.
