<p>The UK State Pension will continue to be payable worldwide following the UK’s departure from the EU. As the Government set out in its Policy Paper ‘Citizens’ Rights – EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU’ we want to secure continued reciprocal arrangements covering the uprating of State Pensions in the EU even in the event of a ‘no deal’ exit. We will uprate the UK State Pension for those living in the EU in 2019-20.</p><p> </p><p>The paper on Citizens’ Rights is attached for reference.</p>
