Closed UK State pensions for UK residents only

Closed on

When tax payers pay state pensions to people living in the UK the money is spent in the UK and is recycled in our economy. People living abroad and claiming state pension spend that money abroad meaning that the money is lost to our economy. Pensioners should be able to claim for a reasonable time for holidays – say 4 weeks but should not be able to claim for more time they spend abroad.
