THE £140 A WEEK STATE PENSION
The Consultation Document is now out. www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/state-pension-21st-century.pdf (http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/state-pension-21st-century.pdf)
The proposed £140 a week pension or more if inflation increases before it is introduced, will not as far as I can see provide more money for anyone.
The 30 years of NI contributions still stands for maximum pension with a minimum of 7 years (currently 1 year!)
No mention of expats in frozen countries.
No mention of a need to be resident in the UK
For those yet to reach pension age, it looks like you will still receive a sate pension at 66+ regardless of living in Thailand.
