From this link;

Your State Pension will increase each year, but only if you live in:

    the European Economic Area (EEA)
    Switzerland
    certain countries that have a social security agreement with the UK

You won't get yearly increases if you live outside these areas. But if you return to live in the UK, your State Pension will be increased each year.


As far as I'm aware, Poland is in the EEA, so you should get it.  The link I provided also has contact details for the UK International Pension Centre, I'd recommend you give them a call if you have any questions.
