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.

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.
