Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Thanks Midatlantic. Does anyone else on here know if Transferwise + their fee is a better deal than the citi route. For pension transfers I doubt I’d be looking at much more than £1,000 held in a...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Sorry to hear your brother is distressed about this. I find it takes ages to hear back from them. Possibly due to my unorthodox method of paying my annual NIC's, it's takes them six months to come...
