      UK State Pension Increases in Turkey

      According to the UK government’s official policy, your UK State Pension will increase each year (uprate annually) only if you live in certain countries — even though the pension itself is payable worldwide. This annual increase is tied to the UK’s annual uprating and depends on where you reside.

      These details are taken from the UK government website.

      European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland

      Austria
      Belgium
      Bulgaria
      Croatia
      Cyprus
      Czech Republic
      Denmark
      Estonia
      Finland
      France
      Germany
      Greece
      Hungary
      Iceland
      Ireland
      Italy
      Latvia
      Liechtenstein
      Lithuania
      Luxembourg
      Malta
      Netherlands
      Norway
      Poland
      Portugal
      Romania
      Slovakia
      Slovenia
      Spain
      Sweden
      Switzerland (not part of the EU/EEA but included)

      Countries with Social Security Agreements that Allow Uprating

      The UK also has reciprocal social security agreements with several countries that require annual increases to the UK State Pension if you live there. These countries include:
      Barbados
      Bermuda
      Bosnia-Herzegovina
      Gibraltar
      Guernsey
      Isle of Man
      Israel
      Jamaica
      Jersey
      Kosovo
      Mauritius
      Montenegro
      North Macedonia
      Philippines
      Serbia
      Turkey
      United States of America (USA)

      Important Notes
      If you live in other countries (e.g., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India), your UK State Pension will not be increased annually — it stays frozen at the amount first paid when you reached pension age.
      The list above reflects countries where there is a legal requirement to uprate pensions under UK policy.
