OAP UK, why index linked in RP ?

[Arthur Little]

But it occurs to me ... you may, in fact, be referring to the British State Pension here!?

Yes it was the State retirement pension I was referring to.

I know for example that if one goes to Canada the pension stays at what it was at the time of emigration, thus some people who have been there many years are getting almost nothing. But as you will know in RP if there is an increase in UK a person living in RP will get it too.

Seems strange, right enough ... unless, of course, the Canadian government has ... well ... it certainly looks like it does have its own set of rules!
