I have lived in Spain for the past 20 years and drew my O.A. pension 10 years ago. I lived and worked in England up until the age of 50, taking early retirement and moving to Spain. I paid tax and stamp up until I retired and am still paying tax on my company pension.
I received a notification from the DWP saying that they are now discontinuing payment of the Adult Dependency payment as it is now outdated. To me this is the married mans allowance by another name. They have informed me that they will be deducting GBP 54.16, which is effectively one third of my pension. Is this deduction being made to everybody or is it just for people living abroad and is it legal having paid into the system all my working life. B][/B]

First of all Steve I suggest you edit your post to remove your email address
As for "is it just me" if you go to https://www.gov.uk/state-pension/what-youll-get
You'll see
Adult Dependency Increase
........
From 6 April 2020 all payments will stop. If you get Adult Dependency Increase now, you’ll keep getting it until then, as long as you’re eligible.

When payments stop you may be eligible to apply for Pension Credit or Universal Credit.
