Proof of NZ Residence when applying for UK Pension?
Hi there,
Just received my "Your State Pension Forecast" reply from the UK, and while it's good, I'll need more!
I'm currently 58, and we're likely to be moving back to the UK in the last quarter of this year, see...
Saw this on the NZ Work and Income website:
"If you don't receive New Zealand Superannuation or Sole Parent Support for widows before leaving New Zealand and you would like the period of your New Zealand residence to be taken into account when applying for a United Kingdom benefit or pension, you will need evidence of that time.
This includes tax certificates, employers’ references, wage slips, travel documents, testimonials, work references, and letters from neighbours and friends (please provide their contact details)."
What are other people's experiences with this process please?
Which documents are best, etc...?
Great website, by the way! Very helpful!
Andrew
