As you know I have recently started talking to my brother, and today the question of pensions came up . My brother worked for a while in Britain and receives a state pension albeit small from the UK. His wife a German born naturalized American receives also a small pension from the UK based on my brothers pension. She has never lived in the UK has never worked in the UK yet she receives a pension from here. She worked in Germany for a while before she left for the States and she receives not one penny from Germany. Go figure.
Engerland Engerland ee aye adio.

Most benefits are affected if you are going abroad. >>> What does 'most' mean? This link seems to imply that there are no social security agreements with Asian countries. www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/social_security_agreements.asp#azlistedSorry if this does not fully answer your question.

Thanks sandy. I do know that a pension being paid out of the EU zone ( roughly) do not receive pension increases. That which you start with will be that which you finish with if you stay out of the EU. I am more interested in wives , no not yours mine who although we are separated lives abroad. Will she receive a British pension at age 60? gus

On the subject of pensions, I was startled when I found out that my mortherinlaw could receive a pension for raising children in england even though she wasn't a citizen because she has since divorced the englishman. Being a feminist, I thought it a nice thing that the job of taking care of children has been given value in your country. Besides, the more money she gets in pensions and social security, the less we'll have to pay to take care of her later. What I am wondering is, is it in fact the child-rearing that she's getting a pension for, or would she have received something anyway just for being in England? I am wondering how I can draw and english pension for having a half brother-in-law in England. Seems like almost anyone can get it.

I believe if you have a British Short Hair cat or a Yorkshire terrier that you will be entitled to benefits. There is talk of extending this priviledge to foreigners with a Staffordshire Bull terrier with our without a muzzle. apply for an application form from Stupid R US . gov.org gus
