British pensioners living abroad may not receive an increase in their state pension.
150 countries around the world don't have an uprating agreement with the UK, meaning 500,000 people living outside the UK are trapped on frozen state pensions.
Pensioners in these countries are currently on a pensions policy that sees their state pension frozen at the level they had when leaving the UK. According to the policy, only the UK, the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, Gibraltar, and nations that have a social security agreement with the UK are eligible for state pension increases, but not Canada or New Zealand.
