What's their problem ?

The British Age Pension is an entitlement earned by all who work
in Britain, or for British companies overseas.

It is funded by mandatory contributions over some 40 years.

Despite that the Government refuses to uprate the Age Pension if
you emigrate to most of the Commonwealth countries
or a swag of others.

Who is affected ?

British workers who have retired and emigrated to join their young families.

Elderly parents who would love to join their children and grandchildren
who have moved overseas but because their pensions would be frozen if they did,
they cannot afford to, it would put a burden on their children.

Immigrants to Britain who joined the workforce,
 and paid their dues and taxes for many years,
and would love to return to their homeland on retirement.

British workers employed by UK companies overseas
who would like to stay in the country where they worked but,
because they paid their National Insurance through a UK company,
they too would have their pensions frozen if they had worked in
the wrong country.

Britain is being recalcitrant on this issue despite the fact that the National Insurance fund is currently in surplus to the sum of over £50,000,000,000
(Yes Fifty Billion Pounds).

The recent appeal to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights before 17 Judges gives us hope.  But we won't get the Judgement till later this year, maybe in March 2010.

Even then, given the favourable ruling we trust we will receive, we will have a fight on our hands to sway the Government and Public Opinion in favour of activating the ruling of the Court.

We are waiting, like Snowy on the right. Click him to see if you are living in, or planning to live in, a frozen country.
