A new campaign is calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to act on the issue
A staggering 453,000 state pensioners are missing out on yearly increases in their state pension, representing a massive 'injustice' according to a new campaign. MPs have launched an early day motion urging the Government to resolve an issue that stops hundreds of thousands from receiving increases due to their country of residence.
This policy leaves those who retire to commonly chosen destinations like Canada and Australia with frozen pensions, set at the rate they were when the pensioner moved. Campaigners are pushing to amend this rule so all overseas pensioners benefit from the triple lock increase, which this year resulted in an 8.5% boost to payments.
