WW2 Veteran Urges UK Prime Minister to Reform Frozen Pension Policy
Anne Puckridge, a nearly 100-year-old World War Two veteran, has called on UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to end the ‘brutal’ policy that freezes pensions for British expats, particularly affecting over 453,000 pensioners living abroad. Currently receiving £72.50 weekly since moving to Canada in 2001, Puckridge highlights the financial struggles caused by the lack of annual increases and argues for justice and dignity for those affected, urging government action and acknowledging international diplomatic efforts.
