British Pensions Consultants Inc and Peter Hewetson have been amazing to work with. I had absolutely no idea of what I had to do in order to collect my UK pension. Peter Hewetson was very helpful, understanding, patient, diligent and timely in all our correspondence. Peter was very professional in every way to say the least. I would highly recommend British Pensions Consultants Inc for any and all issues in obtaining a UK Pension. I am extremely thankful for the excellent service I have received.

Anyone who feels they could be eligible for a UK Pension would be well-advised to use the service provided by “British Pensions Consultants”. To try to navigate the system oneself is a nightmare. One call to Mr Hewetson, & answering a couple of questions, determined that “Yes”, I was eligible & everything from that point was handled by Mr Hewetson. I did not have to make calls to England or fill out complicated forms! I received correct advice and without any hassle. Any fee due was not forthcoming until the monthly amount was in place. How easy!! I’ve heard horror stories & people have given up.

I originally lived in the UK for 11 years, before wanderlust took over and I started globetrotting in the mid 70’s. Many years later, my fast approaching retirement only served to raise more questions than provide answers about my eligibility for a British Pension, could I actually benefit from having worked there? Fortunately for me, during my internet research, I stumbled onto the British Pensions Consultants Web site where the answers abound.

I decided to give Tom a call, and was pleasantly surprised when he advised me that I was eligible for a Brit pension, even though I could not find, nor had any recollection of my NHS number, and had only vague dates of when I left England. I also learned that if I paid some top up contributions I could increase the amount being paid out. All of the subsequent research and paperwork to be submitted to HMR &C would be handled directly by Tom and Peter, and that fact alone made it a simple choice for me. Its now been 3 years since I first signed up with British Pension Consultants, and even though I moved from Canada to Australia (about halfway through the process of making my application) Tom and Peter took this in their stride and handled it like the true professionals they really are. Currently I receive my British Pension every 4 weeks and I can honestly say that by using Tom and Peters service, the entire process has been completely seamless, I could not recommend them more highly. Tom, Peter, Many thanks for your assistance.

Enclosed please find a cheque for your fees for obtaining a UK Pension for me. I do want to thank you for all of your hard work! Several hundred dollars more each month will certainly help me ‘survive’ retirement. Once again, Thank you.

My wife and I have dealt with Tom and Peter Hewetson at British Pensions Consultants for the last 5 years or so in the process of claiming our British Pension. I have found them to be honest, knowledgeable and very efficient at getting me the best pension from the British Government possible. They explained things in detail and were always pleasant to deal with over the phone. I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone else who maybe looking for some help in getting the best pension they can.

Thanks to the outstanding work of Tom and Peter Hewetson, my wife and I began to receive our British pensions five years ago. We are grateful to have received thousands of dollars each year since, and frankly, a lot more than we would have achieved had we tried to do it ourselves. As I said back then, our conversations with Tom and Peter were the best time investments we have ever made.

Five years later, I had some questions recently regarding pension estate planning. I sent off an email yesterday and received a comprehensive reply from Peter this morning. I am delighted that Tom and Peter, two fine “scholars and gentlemen”, are still doing their sterling work on behalf of British ex-pats. I have no hesitation in again recommending them, and I sincerely hope they both continue in this great work they do for many years.

British Pensions Consultants made the complicated business of obtaining my British pension easy. I had given up on the idea as the red tape was daunting when a friend recommended Tom Hewetson. He has a valuable knowledge of the workings of U.K. pensions for Ex-Pats and took me through the maze step by step, calculating top-up payments, documents required and dealing with the U.K. departments. I would recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation.

Great work, Tom. I got exactly what you stated when you took me on as a client. The monies received has more than paid for my investment in your services. Your follow up to ensure that I got what you stated shows your commitment to your clients.

I very much appreciate your excellent advice regarding my British Pension. Although I worked in Britain and paid taxes for many years, I had no idea that a pension would be available. You were referred to me by another friend whose pension you found and I am very grateful to you and your team. In turn I have given your company name to others in the same situation.

Please find enclosed a cheque. I would like to thank you for your diligence in sorting all of this out for Joe and myself. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services.

Thank you so very much for your excellent work in getting me my UK Pension. I still have no idea how you managed to get me a surprisingly good pension of just under 6,000 pounds a year and about the same in a very welcome onetime lump sum but thank you all the same – I’m amazed that HMG would ever be so generous!

In closing, on my own I had no hope whatever of accomplishing this without your prompt and informative guidance and this was all done in less than a year.

Unless you are a time-served expert in pension claiming, my advice is, don’t waste any more time, contact Peter and Tom at British Pensions Inc – they really are!

Dear Tom,
You were successful in obtaining a British State Pension for me way back in 2004, for which I am still so very grateful.

And today, January 14 2016, you immediately answered what I think was a difficult question about the newly announced state pension top-ups.

“Should I top up my existing pension under the new Class 3A scheme, or not?”

ABSOLUTELY NOT as I was subsequently assured by another professional source.

I have already given your name to several British people I know here, and they are very pleased with their results too. Thanks again for your expert advice.

It’s not every day that one gets free money from government.

I was born in the UK and grew up in London where I went to grammar school and subsequently started a career in journalism. In my early 20s, during a down time in the UK I emigrated to Canada where I have enjoyed my life ever since. I got a series of good jobs, married and became a Canadian citizen.

I am now a Canadian pensioner living in Vancouver between voyages so imagine my surprise when a friend, also born in the UK, mentioned that he was receiving a UK pension .and suggested that I should apply for one. First I thought he was joking but he gave me the address of Tom Hewetson and British Pensions Consultants in Toronto. I was skeptical. Why, I thought, would the UK give me a pension, I had only worked for five years in the UK and, besides I was getting a Canadian pension. At the same time I was not keen in getting involved in a lengthy bureaucratic hassle for little return. However, what was there to lose?

So I contacted Tom and to my surprise he seemed to think that there might be merit in my claim but the return would be small. It could be enlarged, he said, by paying a little extra into the UK system. The increase in pension would amortize the extra payment in a short time. Sure, I thought but I told him to go ahead and claim.

As it turned out, he was absolutely right. I don’t know exactly what magic he worked, but there was very little paperwork on my part, and the pension became quite substantial.

And, wonder of wonders, my wife, who has never worked in the UK also received a small pension!

I highly recommend British Pensions Consultants for their efficiency, friendliness and their ability to wring money out of a highly sophisticated bureaucracy. Without them I certainly would not be receiving and enjoying my British pension. Thank you again

Hi Tom,

From a personal point of view, superb service together with your son & it’s made a lot of difference regarding our pension filling in a needy gap on a so called fixed income & I wanted to tell everyone this.

Anyone reading this won’t be disappointed in your dedicated service please take my word! Every good wish in the future.

Dear Peter,

Just to let you know that I put your cheque in the mail this morning. Also to say thank you for the outcome of our British pension. We were very pleased at the final amount, it was certainly well worth pursuing.

Also for the other information about the Life Certificate, that is good to know as we may move in the not too distant future. Regarding claiming the amount on our taxes we had every intention of doing so but we have heard of some who don’t.

Thank you also for your invitation to contact you in the future if we feel the need to – that is good to know. Thanks again for your good work. Best regards for the future.
