The 500,000 Pensioners Who Won't See a Penny of The Triple Lock Boost

The upcoming 4% increase in state pensions starting in April will offer a financial lifeline to retirees residing in Britain. However, this significant boost will not reach a staggering 500,000 retirees living outside the country.
