CALLING ALL PENSIONERS!!
The International Pension Centre (IPC) recently started a ‘life certificate' campaign and will soon be sending forms to many pensioners living in Spain.
The life certificate is a form you must complete, within a certain time period, to demonstrate you continue to have the right to a pension.
You must ensure that the IPC hold your up to date contact details. Although you will have provided them with your Spanish address when you first moved over, if you have since moved house, or your address has changed due to increasing urbanisation in your town, inform the Pension Service on 0044 191 218 7777.
Remember, you should inform the IPC of any changes in your circumstances, such as changes in address, within 28 days as you could receive correspondence from them at any time throughout the year.
If ‘updating your details with IP' is a resolution you keep all the way through to 2012, you'll save yourself trouble regarding your pension in the year ahead!
