U.K. govt will update U.K. state pensions for 3 years
Super helpful member
State Pensions paid to us in Spain 🇪🇸 will continue to be updated annually... until 2022. After that uprating will depend on negotiations with Spain. Why? What has Spain to do with British pension payments?
~ Announced by U.K. Govt today ~
“The government is sending out letters outlining that even if we leave without a deal, pensions for those resident in the EU will be uprated for a further 3 years – an increase of at least 2.5% annually for the duration of this Parliament, worth up to £200 a year per person.
”And pensioners will be told they do not need to do anything to continue receiving their State Pension. During the 3-year period, the UK government plans to negotiate a new arrangement with the EU to ensure that uprating continues.“
