I'm not from the UK but feel this is very unfair to pensioners that have paid into the system ALL their working lives. Just because they live in a foreign country does not warrant freezing increasing their pension. IMO this is coming from a government that now pays out more in benefits than it takes in and doesn't know how to stop the problem. To me it's simple, get the freeloaders that have never contributed to the UK system off your programs. A LOT of immigrants to the UK don't work and only take from the system, it's unsustainable at the current rate. And to the person that said, "Makes sense. You don't spend the pension money in the UK, why should the government support your overseas lifestyle." that's just a ridiculous statement, a person works all their life, pays into the system for 30-40 years, receives a pension, and should be able to live their remaining life--which is realistically 15-20 years, wherever they want, shouldn't matter what country it is.
