Have you lived or worked in the UK? You could be entitled to thousands in extra pension payments for life.

In this episode of The Winner’s Playbook, Josh and Billy unpack the UK state pension and why it matters for Australians who have spent time working in the UK, even decades ago. They explain how the system works, how it compares to Australia’s age pension, and what the upcoming changes in April 2026 mean for anyone thinking of topping up their pension years.

They also cover how to check your national insurance record, what to do if you have gaps, and why this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a valuable income stream. Plus, they dive into estate planning strategies around superannuation tax and share a few client stories that show just how easy it is to miss out if you don’t take action.

If you or someone you know has worked in the UK, this is a must-listen. It could put thousands of dollars back in your pocket for very little effort.
