NO ! In order to qualify for the UK state pension - you have to have either paid national insurance contributions for a minimum of 30 years OR have national insurance credits applied (while out of work). If you've been living abroad for 43 years you cannothave paid into the UK tax system - and are therefore notentitled to the UK pension !It's not about whether you have dual citizenship - its whether you've paid into the tax system to qualify for state pension !
The basic state pension is currently £102.15 per week.
If your UK State Pension is your only income, then it isn't taxable. However, if you have other income from whatever source, your pension will be added to that income and you will be taxed in the normal way if you are classed as a UK resident for tax purposes.
The UK Pension is a state pension provided to individuals who have reached a certain age and met specific contribution requirements. The Old Age Pension, on the other hand, is a financial benefit for retired individuals in the UK who are eligible based on age and income criteria. While the UK Pension is a universal benefit, the Old Age Pension is means-tested and takes into account other sources of income.
The same as in the rest of the UK.
In the UK, of course. Why wouldn't you?
