  18. I have just been speaking with the IPC on another matter and they have informed me that regarding your LC, they will accept a letter from your Thai bank (where payments are credited) that you are currently the account holder, signed and stamped. Therefore, the witness declaration can be left blank.
  19. Again, if your UK pension is delayed by several days (remember to take into account any US bank holidays whilst you payment travels through the system), call the IPC (preferably using SKYPE) and your payments will be reinstated, albeit 10 days later. They will email you a duplicate LC for completion and give your 16 weeks to return a completed LC, For your information, one of my other pensions is with L&G in the UK. L&G sent me a secure message and requested security questions to prove that I was still in the land of living which I answered, to which I replied again by their secure messaging system. The whole process took several minutes. The International Pensions Centre please wake up.
  20. #BREAKING: @EctThailand has ratified all 500 MPs-elect (400 constituencies, 100 from the party-list) from last month’s After today’s ratification of all 500 MPs-elect, the new parliament must convene within two weeks to elect a new House speaker (and their deputies), who then sets the date for joint-assembly vote on the new Prime Minister.
