Not true, my husband has just had his increased. If you are not having increases best contact International Pensions Centre, details here: https://www.gov.uk/international-pension-centre

My husband had to claim his pension during Covid lockdown and they were very helpful, everything was done over the phone due to the circumstances.

Yes, our pensions have been increased, but one of us has actually lost 176 pounds in the year because of tax increase.

No, my husband is the same - he has TRNC address registered with UK pensions, pension is paid to UK Nationwide Building Society (our TRNC address is also registered with the bank).

Contact the International Pensions Centre (my husband contacted them via Skype), they are the only people who can definitely tell you why.
