«"UK expat hopes of moving to Spain could be over post-Brexit - nothing but a 'pipe dream'», Express, 18 | 05 | 2021 - Noticia

This is despite the Government announcing in January that anyone moving to the EU or Switzerland after the UK officially cut ties with the bloc would still get their British state pension as normal. But recently there have been changes to the way weekly pension payments are calculated for those planning to take the plunge and move abroad later this year. ... all expats who relocate to EU nations, who have previously lived in Australia, Canada or New Zealand, will be affected as they could receive lower pensions.
