Again, that's not the policy. If they've paid into the system, it still won't matter. Not only is their pension gone but they'll have their right to stay here taken away and won't be able to apply for a skilled visa.
Why would such people not be entitled to the pension that they've paid for?

AIUI it's paid at the rate it was when they left the UK, but is frozen ie not uprated:
