[BITList] How saving the pound led to 54 years of injustice -Telegraph

[CT's]

The Department for Work and Pensions reiterated that pensioners know the rules when they decide to emigrate, so why should 
the rules be changed because they don't like them when they get there? That has been paraphrased, but it is essentially the message. 

is there any validity to this?

"The Government Actuary's Department (GAD) report freely admits that there is a surplus – yes, that is right, a surplus – in the National Insurance Fund, which is expected to reach around £55 billion by the end of the year. By 2013-14, it is forecast to reach more than £100 billion"

"In 1955, the pension was granted to British expats anywhere in the world, but at the time the pound was under stress and it was decided not to uprate pensions overseas. That has remained the position ever since."
