Living Abroad and Getting Pension and Benefits

What is the UK policy for people who have retired and living abroad?
Are they allowed to get income support, pension and the various benefits just as those living in the UK? Is the amount the same/even affected by moving abroad?
Kind regards,
Mike

Depends on which country as to whether you get the annual increase or not. Do you get income support when retired? I thought it was pension credit which you can't get if you move abroad permanently.
What other benefits were you thinking of? DLA etc?
