Frozen pensions: Dunkirk veteran among those losing up to £5600 (The Guardian)

Almost 500000 UK state pensioners living overseas are excluded from this month's annual increase.

The Department for Work and Pensions says there is information on Gov.uk about what the effect of going abroad will be on your entitlement to the UK state pension. He and Mary met after the second world war when he went to work on the same farm as her. There are more than 100 countries worldwide where the UK basic state pension is not uprated each year. She receives a pension that is frozen at £46 a week. The couple are among 492,000 older Britons living abroad who are losing out as a result of the UK’s “ frozen pensions” policy. For example, a single pensioner who retired in late 1982 after having made the full contributions would be getting £32.85 a week, or £1,708 a year, if their pension was frozen then.
