[BITList] So why didnt you ask?. UK Stolen Pensions

[x50type]

Good point, Malcolm

I find it hard to believe that the BPIA claim is based upon the premiss that the UK government didn’t tell me!

British Pensions in Australia [BPiA] is an incorporated non profit volunteer association of mainly British expats with over 11,200 members scattered mostly across Australia.

Rather like going to the pub and half way down your pint of Guinness some one orders a pint of Stella Artois and you say to the barman, ‘why didn’t you tell me you have my favourite beer Stella Artois’? and the barman replies, ‘you didn’t.................................................’

John & Colin,

If I can put my penny worth in to this subject. Ena's sister, husband &
their 2 children emigrated to Aus and landed there on August 1959 in
Melbourne and settled in Adelaide where they still live.

They knew that they would only get their old age pension that they would
have paid in up to the time they left UK. They were only 25 years old and
were not worried about that because they knew that most of there lives would
be in Aus working and building up there pensions there. They are now in
their 80s and with their Aus government pensions plus their private pension
plus their savings they have had a great retirement to date.

As the old saying goes. It is no good crying over spilt milk because you
have not thought far a head.

Malcolm.

So when did they start informing departing UK citizens - 1909 or 1969?

I don't know - that is a hypothetical question to which I cannot give a
hypothetical answer.
