Details

We pay the UK State Pension worldwide. However, you will only get an increase every year if you live in:

  • the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland
  • a country that has a social security agreement with the UK that allows for cost of living increases to the State Pension

This guidance explains where we will pay increases of the UK State Pension.
