Will they pay me the last 14 years of increases? To bring my pension up to date they would have to give me a 34% increase or an extra $1700/year.
No I don't think so and I believe this will go they same way as previous attempts to introduce indexing.

This is the first time I've visited BE today. I am sure someone has said it already, but welcome back Steve.

But they get it in the States - how's that?

Because we couldn't afford "a little place in Maine" on a part-time basis - we emigrated to Canada.

1 I paid into it for 17 years.
2. Brits who emmigrate to the US and many other countries get it.

I didn't say there was. Read my post (and the quote of the poster that I had quoted) again

My thoughts precisely (sly sneaky minds think alike). I know of an address in Maine where they accept packages and you nip over the border to collect (they very kindly call to let you know they have arrived). This isn't a PO box but a real address

There are several checks included in the application, one requirement is proof of residency from a bank.

Retired friends here in BC have just received a very curt letter from the Pensions Office. They have been caught out (don't ask me how) collecting their pension here using an address of a house they still own in the UK.

Don't know if they have to pay anything back...

We changed our residency as soon as we got PR status....I'd never make a gansters moll!

Can't figure it out - no doubt the men in suits have a very convoluted reason!
