Hi and welcome to the Forum.

You'll find all the information you need on how to claim your UK state pension on the UK Gov website; this link will take you straight to it. There are links within the site that will take you to different parts that will answer your questions.

Hopefully, somebody who has personally experienced your situation will post some further information shortly.

I hope this helps.

There is also a HelpLine to ring, but it takes about an hour to actually speak to someone. Best is to phone them 1st thing in the morning should you need assistance.

Spot on. I was living in the UK when I claimed my state pension and it was surprisingly easy.

I would open an account with something like Wise and then transfer the money to your French bank account.
