Live in Australia visiting.

A friend lives in Australia and gets a UK pension. They are over here for 4 weeks and I have it in the back of my mind that they can claim the going rate whilst they are here. If so would they keep this rate when they go back to Australia?

    Baldur,


    Thank you very much for the information. I rang the telephone number and they were very helpful. All it needed was for my friends to ring themselves and give the dates of their visit and the address they were staying at in the UK.

    Many thanks.

    I have a feeling the paperwork would make it not a viable idea
