    off topic That was in the past, this year it's a nightmare to regain access to a UK bank account. I had to do it last month, when my UK bank updated their app to not work on my old phone.

    If my bank saw regular fund transfers to an overseas destination, they'd probably close my bank account. I'm far more worried about being debanked than being investigated by the DWP. Which is one of the reasons I've never transferred money from my bank account, or used my UK debit/credit cars in Thailand.

    Always amazed at the number of people that think their government is all seeing and all powerful. Mostly government officials are lazy and barely competent, resulting in only the easiest offenders being investigated and caught.

    That doesn't make any sense, there is no compulsion for anyone inside the UK to have a passport. And it seems unlikely that the DWP would send someone overseas to ask to look at one. Do you ever think before you post?

    Winter fuel was paid without any claim being made. I don't claim benefits, and wouldn't have claimed it as a pensioner in the UK, but it was sent to me anyway with no option to opt out. I don't really want a Xmas bonus either, I don't want charity, just the state pension I paid for with my NI payments.

    And yet again, Thailand is a travel hub for Asia, even knowing you landed here, doesn't mean you stayed here, you might have bought an onward flight to your final destination in Manila. Or are you suggesting all flights from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world are reported back to the UK?

    Which doesn't tell them where you went. And I left in 2016 before they kept entry/exit records, the UK police were still trawling my former 'known addresses' so they clearly didn't know I had left the country.

    I lost my passport! Game over.

    Supported by the Bill Gate foundation and a couple of other super rich One World Government types.

    Probably because all the other 'facts' you post are wrong.

    "Trump - just what does he have to do for his supporters to question their allegiance?" Him not being Kamala Harris or Joe Biden is probably enough!

    Or living with relatives, or living in a private nursing home. Or a WISE debit card, or the like.

    Don't know as I never received 200/300GBP. They sent me 250GBP when my UK address had 2 other pensioners living there (they also received 250GBP each), and 500GBP when they had both died. Along with 10GBP Christmas bonus. One of the problems I have with these posts, is that none of you seem to really know the correct information. I can't explain the difference between your fantasy and my reality.

    That's because he's on benefits, I don't claim benefits.

    Last time I flew back to the UK and did it in person. 2 hours from application to collection.

    I don't have anyone on ignore.

    Winter payments finished with Labour. Previously the Cons sent it out with no forms required. Did you think there was a form sent out? Because the answer was always no.

    I doubt many straight tourists avoid countries because of oppressive anti-gay laws. But I would avoid a country where I was likely to be mugged, shot or stabbed in the street. China is a great place to visit for a holiday!

    I'm reading it because I'm wondering why there's a news item in November on a bill that was discontinued in April. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3430/news

    There are no links from my UK bank account to any foreign activity. I don't use Brit debit or credit cards outside the UK either. The government can look all they like, there's nothing for them to find.

    https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3430/news Data Protection and Digital Information Bill The 2023-24 session of Parliament has prorogued and this bill will make no further progress. This bill was halted on 24 April 2024.

    Additional years before the new pension scheme 2015 often do not increase pension pay out.

    What do you call a man that sniffs little girls? Mr. President!
