Global Pensions 4 UK Pensioners
The UK should pay pensioners their pension no matter where they choose to live in the world. They paid into the government pension fund. So why shouldn't they be entitled to receive their money no matter where they choose to live?
It's THEIR money NOT THE GOVERMENTS.....
Why is this important?
Pensioners who have made a life outside the UK's list of "Recognised Countries" are being denied their human rights to receiving their full pensions.
The UK doesn't mind sending UK citizens to Thailand or other far flung countries to fight and die for them, but if god forbid any of them choose to return and live there, their pensions are either stopped or frozen without the benefit of cost of living increases. At the very beginning of our working lives, and at 10 year intervals. We should be given a list of countries we can expect NOT to receive our pensions.
