Claiming pensions from other EU countries in UK

Please can someone point me to the best group to refer a friend to obtain reasonably knowledgable help (both about elegibility and [equally important] procedure).

She (British) has worked in several EU, including UK, countries over the last 40 odd years and basically needs to know what to look out for & to hear a human voice telling her that the UK + other various govts are getting the rules right (or not as the case may be) & whether she should push any particular aspect or her case.

So is there someone reasonably knowledgable about cross border pension arrangements out there, please?

(Expected pension(s) are most unlikely to fund financial advisers etc at n00 GBP per hour!)

TIA

Most countries have a minimum contribution rule.

IIRC in the UK it is 10 years (for a quarter pension). In Germany it is 15! Pay in less than this and you get SFA.

I doubt that this is the info that she wanted to hear, but that is how it is
