Drawing state pension when living overseas

Postby davidgee » Mon Mar 06, 2017 3:59 pm

I am a British citizen living in India and due to receive a UK state pension shortly.
1) I understand that I will not be due any future increases in the pension rate due to being out of the UK. If I return to the UK, what are the criteria for being eligible for the increases? Does the return have to be permanent and how is this assessed?
2) If, on the other hand, I decide to take Indian citizenship, which means renouncing UK citizenship, would I still be entitled to the UK pension at all?
Thank you for any advice.
