Seek rights for UK citizens who pay into South Korean pension to be refunded

Closed 55 signatures

What the petition asks

Nationals of some countries are entitled to refunded pension payments as a lump sum after they leave the country or when they retire. British citizens are at a disadvantage as they do not have this right. Many do not pay into the UK pension as they do not work in the UK.
