Sending a 'proof of life certificate' by post to a pensioner in Thailand shows just how far behind the times the UK Government departments are.
One of my private pension providers just sent me a form, but attached was a letter that explained I could sign up for a phone Application that would do it electronically for me.
15 minutes later I had signed up & received an email acknowledgement that I was officially alive..
If Government officials in the UK believe that a completed proof of life form from Thailand is actually proof of life they are even more naive than I believed..
