UK frozen pensions campaign urges expats to register to vote
British retirees in Thailand receiving the UK State Pension see their payments frozen at the rate when they first claimed, without annual increases. The British Overseas Voters Forum is urging affected expats to register for UK elections, arguing that coordinated voter pressure is the only way to force policy change. Occupational and private pensions are unaffected.
