More to the point the Philippines.
Once i move to the Philippines for good, the pension rate i get will be frozen at that rate and will not go up with the triple lock like it would if i lived in the UK.
For example if i get £221 a week then it will always be £221 because i have moved to the Philippines. There are a few of you guys out there now that might be in that senerio at the moment who could answer this question.
I can imagine there are ways round this if you have a postal address in the UK but just wondering if anyone has had theirs frozen.
Ignore that Rory, iv been here more than 10 yrs now, my pension first started during that time , i get all the increases as everyone else does Philippines is a participating country, the only annoying thing i find from time to time is my pension gets stopped due to my not receviing the proof of life certificate which never gets here iv decided i will just send from a blank emailed copy of the form yearly after getting it signed ect, it costs about 2,500 peso to send by LBC but figure to get round the hastle it will be worth it
