People on a frozen Basic State Pension are receiving just £65 a week or less
UK State Pensions for people living overseas in retirement only increase in-line with the annual uprating - the Triple Lock guarantee - where there is a legal requirement to do so. An example of this is where there is a reciprocal agreement between the UK and the country of residence.
Lord Davies continued: “Recipients in some countries have increases each year in line with those granted to pensioners in the UK, but those in other countries, totalling half a million, do not - their pensions are frozen at the date they moved abroad and in real terms their State Pension falls each year.
