quote :-
END THE UNFAIR FROZEN OVERSEAS PENSION POLICY
Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions
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.

I had thought this struggle to be finished when this happened
However I now read that the UK government is perhaps revisiting this issue.

Hi
Just realised if everyone on the board voted ( most unlikely) but it would be at least 97,330 votes on the e petition
cheers
