Unfreezing the indexing of pensioners who live abroad and have served in H M Forces - Started by Brian Corrigan
Under regulation 3 of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Regulations British pensioners who retire to any one of over 120 countries, mainly in the Commonwealth, have their rightful state pension frozen. Meanwhile, those who retire to other countries have their pension uprated annually, just as though they never left the UK. This discriminatory policy currently impacts on the lives of over half a million British pensioners and curtails the freedom of choice of all British pensioners in retirement. We call for this Government to heed the plea of the International Consortium of British Pensioners to repeal this Regulation.If it receives at least 100,000 signatures, this petition will be eligible for debate in the House of Commons! Your participation is essential if we are to achieve that goal, so we ask that you please sign this important petition.
