Upcoming AGM for the APPG on Frozen British Pensions
May 4, 2023 Frozen British Pensions 6 Comments
The 2023 Annual General Meeting of the APPG on Frozen British Pensions is being held in Parliament on Wednesday the 14th of June, from 14.30-15.30.
The APPG will be meeting to officially reform the group in the new parliament and elect parliamentarians to officer roles within the group. Following the elections, members will discuss the ongoing case to end the UK Government’s frozen pensions policy.
We hope to welcome new parliamentarians with an interest in this issue as well as our valued APPG members from both the Commons and Lords.

My husband and I both worked half of our working life’s in the UK before emigrating to Canada. We will start claiming our UK pension in 2028 and 2031 respectively. This ridiculous situation will cause us hardship that will get worse with every year that passes. it’s hard to be believe it is legal. At the very least let us take the total value of our UK fund and allow us to invest it with our financial planner in Canada. I pray this is resolved before we reach 2028. It is very stressful and we both feel quite helpless.

I was in your position 13 years ago when I started claiming my State Pension as a permanent resident in South Africa. Today I still receive the same amount as I did 13 years ago, whilst my wealthy friends living in Mauritius enjoy full index-linked pensions. The situation is cruel and illogical and I hope it is resolved before you retire to Canada and cease to be a burden on the UK NHS.

I started to collect my UK pension in 2021. It is so disappointing that it will NEVER increase. My brother lives in the USA and he gets the annual increases. It really is a sad state of affairs.
