Section 19 PrisonersI1
Regulations may provide that a person is not to be paid a state pension under this Part for any period during which the person is a prisoner.
“Prisoner” means a person (in Great Britain or elsewhere) who is—
imprisoned or detained in legal custody, or
unlawfully at large.
In the case of a person remanded in custody for an offence, regulations under subsection (1) may be made so as to apply only if a sentence of a specified description is later imposed on the person for the offence.
