Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
jacko45k replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They did, but if one is working in the UK or for a UK company, payment of NHI is obligatory... the state pension comes from these payments not from general taxation. (So they like to tell us). The wingers had no say in the matter other than perhaps choosing to retire in the UK... (yeuch), or a country where the pension is not frozen, (Philippines... double yeuch!) -

The North South carriageways are hardly labelled to inform out of towners that they are one way either side of the tracks. Further North I am often faced with traffic going the wrong way..... -

I have heard of people using post.... but obviously easier to visit the office. Give them a call, English well spoken.

That is positive feedback..... they did mine a few years prior, fine service then. Glad to hear things are still ok after the owner passed.
