State Pension and ZUS: Pension from the UK and Poland after Brexit (2026)
UK and Polish periods still count together, State Pension (£241.30/week from April 2026) is indexed in Poland, and the S1 form provides retirees with NHS treatment at the UK's expense; the key news is that from April 6, 2026, NI contributions from abroad are tightened (Class 2 abolished, Class 3 requires 10 years) – you can still pay for back years up to 2025/26 under the old rules, plus taxes from the 2006 agreement and why to keep your occupational pension in the UK.
