I get it cos of a European community deal, don't ask me to explain it, that's what it says on the contract I received when I retired 4 years ago. I mailed them last year asking what would happen now Britain was leaving the EC. They finally replied in one sentence, 'Thank you for you email dated 27th July 2018 You would still be entitled to your UK state pension.' I am guessing like everybody else in Britain they didn't have a clue what will happen. I am guessing by no deal they ain't going to pay a foreigner a pension. Thank god I took Dutch nationality 16 years ago or I could be up shit creek without a paddle ;-)
