Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 23 January 2018 to Question 123025, if she will revoke regulation 3 of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Regulations 2017.
This question was answered on 2nd February 2018
The policy on up-rating UK state pensions overseas is a long-standing policy of successive Governments. UK State Pensions are payable worldwide without regard to nationality to those people who meet the eligibility criteria and are up-rated for recipients resident abroad where there is a legal requirement to do so. The Government has no plans to change this policy.
