“Pensioners who moved to countries such as Australia and Canada only receive the level of pension paid at retirement – which might be only £6 per week. A court ruling from the European Court of Human Rights will decide on Tuesday whether they should receive increases.”

via BBC News – UK expats await pension freeze appeal verdict.

This is a national disgrace.  It should not matter where a pensioner lives, if they are entitled to a pension then the rules should be the same for all.  If a pensioner wishes to move to a ‘cheaper’  country, that should be their perogative.
