Answer
Only the UK Government can implement the Wellbeing Pension as policy. Currently, control over pensions policy is not devolved to Scotland and Wales; it is the sole responsibility of Westminster
In the case of Northern Ireland however, pension policy is technically devolved but they are not allowed to diverge from the UK in accordance with the power sharing agreement. That means that regardless of whether you live in the UK, the UK Government has to agree to providing the Wellbeing Pension.
