The maximum UK state pension is only £179.60, just one-third of the value of the German state pension, and half of the French pension. In fact, the UK state pension is below the £212.00 minimum income required for an inner London single pensioner to not be in poverty. In other words, the UK state pension is below the official poverty line.

16-Jun-2021 – So, the UK’s DWP cannot give away enough money – Mr. Opperman is leading the charge in trying to track down pensioners in the UK who haven’t claimed their Pension Credit yet. Meanwhile, UK pensioners living in countries where their British pension is frozen, many of whom our living below the poverty line, cannot even get a fair pension, never mind Pension Credit. Where is the fairness in that? Please write today to your last MP in the UK and let them know how disgusted you are that Mr. Opperman is going on a road trip around the UK looking for people they can throw their money at
