Nice to see you back Tony, and very sorry to hear about your life-changing event.

I don't think you can move your contributions to our state pension scheme (only a private one), but of course you can claim it from overseas when eligible.  Loads of info on line though:

Why Hungary and do you trust Mr Orban?   It seems many Hungarians don't!

I'd email or phone the London embassy with my questions before deciding anything.
