Why does Ms Altmann evade the truth when she should know, as she is Pensions Minister, that NO reciprocal agreements are needed to pay frozen pensioners their rightful annual indexing?
Freedom of Information, number 595/2013, confirms no RA's are needed in order for the UK government to pay it's own citizens the pensions they have paid for. But then Ms Altmann does really know this as she was for many years an advocate for the frozen pensioners and campaigned for the ending of this scandal.
Pensions belong to the pensioners who have paid into the NI scheme over a lifetime, it is not down to government largess and it is not a benefit and it is not right that a government be allowed to withhold 4% of pensioners cost of living increases and uprate the 96% just based on where they retire for whatever reason.
Shame on you Ms Altmann for parroting DWP lies and deception, and shame on you for abandoning the victims of this downright injustice.
