UK General Election Announced The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has announced that the UK General Election will take place on Thursday 4th July.

British Age Pensioner Alliance The British Age Pensioner Alliance (BAPA) is campaigning to get the UK Government to pay the UK State Pension with inflation increases to pensioners everywhere, no matter where in the world they live. Everyone who is entitled to a UK State Pension has paid in on the same terms, so there’s no justification for the UK Government’s policy of freezing pensions if you don’t live in the right country.

Vale Nigel Nelson, CABP Member, and Previous Chair of ICBP

2024-05-24T16:07:37+10:00

From The Canadian Alliance of British Pensioners: On 27th December 2023, Nigel Nelson, who modestly called himself our frozen pension researcher, passed away. The loss to his family is immense, and although the wider frozen pension community may be unaware of his work, they too are significantly impacted by his passing. Since 2015, Nigel has dedicated countless hours to research and communications on behalf of CABP. He chaired the International Consortium of British Pensioners until ill health meant he had to stand down, but still continued to work tirelessly behind the scenes. His intellect, knowledge and passion for detailed research [...]
