Thank you for that information, it is very relevant and has answered some questions.

Can anybody help? I moved to Australia as a ten pound pom with my family in 1955 when I was four. My wife arrived here from Scotland in 1970 also as a migrant family. Now 63 and on a Carer’s pension, my wife on a DSP, we are becoming increasingly frustrated by so many of the wrong directions in which we feel the government is heading and the ever increasing cost of living. Neither of us have become Australian citizens, (probably a mistake), so we remain as permanent residents. We still hold British passports but they have expired. Does anyone know if we were to move back to the UK, would we still receive our Australian pensions, would we qualify for a similar UK pension, and above all else, will it be cheaper to live there?
