Uprate state pensions for all UK pensioners living overseas

Petition Details

Many UK citizens have emigrated to other countries, like Canada, and now are retired and rely on their UK state pensions for financial support. Only pensioners living in the US, EU and some other countries that the UK has a bilateral social security agreement with have their state pensions uprated.

Additional Information

We call on the UK government to address this inequity and ensure UK pensioners living in other countries, including Canada receive the same annual increase to their pension as those living in the United States, the EU, and other countries with similar policies.

For example, UK pensioners in India, South Africa, Canada, Pakistan, Nigeria and others do not receive increases.

We urge the UK government to adopt a policy that ensures all UK pensioners, wherever they live, receive fair and equitable treatment.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
