    Irony is dead in this topic.  A leaver starts a thread moaning about remainers and telling them to move on.  The bad news for the gammonati is it's far from over.  It's not a matter of if the UK will rejoin but when, though it may take a while before even the most pig-headed farage fan boi finally gets it.

    Oh and when will the pigs fly?

    I do not believe that DWP are so trusting as to accept that every pensioner is still living in UK and eligible for annual increases.

    Apart from the letter  asking if you are still alive, I think they can check if you are receiving National Health care or prescriptions.

    My impression has always been that DWP do not want to pay any pension unless they have to, so if they do not see any activity that indicates that you are still alive, they can decide that you are dead and stop your pension

    To be fair to them, if they find that they were mistaken and that you are still alive, they make up to missed pension with no quibble..

    If you are going to keep a UK bank, check that your bank will allow a current account with credit card etc., when you are living in Thailand. Not all will.

    If you have a UK based credit card, also need to check where the replacement card will be sent when due.  Default could be to your (unused ) UK address.  Some will not send a credit card to Thailand under any circumstances, other are happy to use DHL at no extra charge.

     

     

    There are millions of pensioners who do you think checks them? in fact about 5 years ago i knew a guy on social who used to come here on holiday for a month at least ,he had a condo and he believed his landlord split on him anyway long story short ,a guy over in Thailand used to transfer money from his uk account to his and he braught it over to change .when he went back ,they hardly did anything to him, as for the guy living in Thailand ,never even checked on him or his uk bank accounts .
