Rejected petition Equal pensions rights for Pensioners living in non -reciprical countries
More details
It is unfair, that British citizens who having paid their National Insurance contributions all their working lives in UK, are now penalized by having their pensions frozen at the amount they initially receive if they live in certain countries abroad. The Gov argue, that as they now live in non reciprocal countries, they are not entitled despite often being in commonwealth countries, whilst others living in the EU are given full pension increases. Those EU people in UK get the free UK perks + their Pensions from 'home' WE paid in to the scheme so should be the ones to receive the benefits! We paid in and THEy get the benefits - it's WRONG!
