Retiring to non EU - private pension frozen?

Paulrm71

I am going to retire abroad to a non EU country in the not too distant future. I understand that the State pension will be frozen from the moment I start drawing it, but would this also apply to private pensions? My main pension will be from LGPS with a small DB pension from Aviva.

Many thanks

I can't speak for Aviva, but your LGPS pension will certainly be fully index linked.

Whether your SP is frozen depends on which country you retire to. Some non-EU countries have mutual agreements with the UK. See here.

Your private pension shouldnt be affected unless there is something specific in the small print, which seems pretty unlikely. If the private pension is index linked it should continue to rise with UK inflation.
