September 2019 - UK state pension for claimants living in European Union

03/09/2019

The government has committed to uprating the UK state pension for claimants living in the European Union (EU) for three years in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

Confirming that the UK state pension has already been uprated in the EU for the year April 2019 to March 2020, the government has now committed to continue uprating for each year until March 2023 in the event of a no deal Brexit. Uprating beyond 2023 will be subject to successful negotiation of new arrangements with the EU. However, the government says that during this three year period it plans to negotiate a new arrangement with the EU to ensure that uprating continues beyond 2023.
