Anne Puckridge, a World War II veteran about to turn 100, has called on UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to end the ‘brutal’ policy that freezes pensions of British expats. Puckridge, living in Canada, has received a stagnant pension of £72.50 since 2001, far less than those in the UK. After lobbying successive governments, she plans to meet Pensions Minister Emma Reynolds to discuss the issue, highlighting the lack of dignity and financial strain the policy imposes on pensioners abroad.
