People have asked Prof Robert Burns to comment on this due to fear of English pension theft. Generally these are older people who rely on their pension and worry a lot, making them susceptible to fear mongering.
So here is the answer to the question of what happens to Pensions in Independent Scotland:
Nothing happens.
When Scotland separates from England it will take approx 8.5% of the total UK national wealth with it. This will be the proportion due by population ratios. This will include all pensions of every type.
There will be absolutely no change in pensions or their reliability, apart from the address from which it will arrive in your bank account.
In fact your pension is far more likely to rise under a caring Independent Scottish Social Democracy than it has been under decades of Westminster governments. We saw this already with the far more generous Scottish energy and various poverty payments during the recent covid/economic crisis.
These Westminster governments have consciously made British pensioners have the lowest level of old age pension in all of first world Europe.
The UK deliberately has the poorest pensioners in Europe.
So be certain that Westminster cannot steal Scottish pension money due, much as it would love to. This is what World Courts and EU/UN sanctions are for.
England dare not risk facing these as a weak and isolated imperial power. It is already facing disaster on all sides both internally in poverty and globally in lack of trade.
