Full state pensions are being paid to 30 supposedly UK citizens aged over 100 living in the war-torn Arab country – where the average life expectancy is only 64.
There also appears to be more ‘Britons’ claiming retirement handouts in Yemen than there are known UK citizens resident in the country, data uncovered by an MP suggests.
A total of 2,667 UK passport holders lived there in 2010, figures from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think-tank show. But the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says it pays the state pension to 2,870 individuals. If correct, this would mean that every single British citizen living in Yemen is a pensioner – and there are also an extra 200 ghost claimants.
