Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what decisions they will take on the post-Brexit indexing of UK pensions paid to UK citizens resident in the EU, following their interim agreement with the EU on citizens' rights.

We have now reached agreement with the EU to maintain State Pension up-rating for those covered by the Withdrawal Agreement. For UK State Pension recipients living in the EU on the specified date this includes those who are already receiving their UK State Pension as well as future UK State Pension recipients. We will wish to discuss State Pension up-rating for individuals not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement in future talks.
