I will be leaving Germany in 3 months time and would like to try and sort out my state pension, my widowers pension and a company pension.
Does anyone have any experience of getting their pensions paid to a UK bank?
Are there any issues from the providers?
I am assuming that when I leave they will stop deducting my Krankenkasse amounts.

German state pension is paid where you want it paid. They will pay into a British bank. Same for widowers pension. I can confirm this from experience. Every year you need to get confirmation from, in my case German embassy, that you are still alive. Plus they will initially require confirmation from your receiving bank that any overpayment will be returned on request. It was a bit of a headache in my case to get this form signed. May be easier in U.K. Company pension may depend on company. Cannot help.

As above. The payments abroad are handled by the Deutsche Post Rentenservice in Berlin.
