Written Question
Tuesday 22nd November 2016
Asked by:
Naz Shah (Labour - Bradford West)
Question
to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many EU nationals who live abroad claim UK state pension in each non-UK EU country; and what the total value is of these payments annually.
Answered by Lord Harrington of Watford
The UK State Pension is paid worldwide to those who are eligible. Entitlement to State Pension is based not on nationality but on a person’s national insurance contributions record. Therefore, from the information we hold on those in receipt of the UK State Pension in EU countries we cannot separately identify EU and UK nationals. In addition, we do not hold information on pension entitlements administered by other EU countries.
