Cross-border old-age, survivors' and invalidity pensions : report on portable documents P1 : reference year 2021

This report provides an overview of the payment of old-age, survivors', and invalidity pensions in a cross-border context within the EU/EFTA/UK, seeing that there is a considerable group of pensioners who have worked in several countries or have decided to move abroad. Persons are entitled to a pension from every Member State where they were insured for at least one year, provided that the conditions under national law are fulfilled. These pensions correspond to the insurance periods completed in each of the Member States concerned. Pensions are not subject to any reduction, amendment, suspension, withdrawal, or confiscation on account of the fact that the pensioner resides in a Member State other than that in which the institution responsible for providing pensions is situated (Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004).
