As far as I know there's no problem about receiving a UK pension in NZ. (In order to save on the cost of transferring the money, it would be useful to have a UK bank account and transfer money, say 2 or 3 times a year). I believe that if you emigrate from the UK you can no longer contribute to the National Insurance Pension. In other words I think you are stuck with the number/years and months of contributions you had at the time of your emigration. Some aspects are technical. You really need to contact the Penions Service.
Only if you no longer live in the UK and have done so for at least 5 years, then you can transfer your UK pension to a New Zealand Qrops and cash it in. for more information on Qrops go to www.the-qrops-specialist.com
