Would I still receive the Wellbeing Pension if I moved abroad?

Answer

Yes. The UK Government currently pays the state pension to anyone who retires to a foreign country, as long as they have contributed the qualifying amount of NICs. That means that a Wellbeing Pension would also be paid to any pensioners that moved abroad according to the Minimum Income Standard. This would be paid regardless of which country you moved to.
