I still say I have provided clear written facts from a credible source, gov.UK, that is in plain english and states the UK state pension cannot be reduced or stopped if you commit benefit fraud.

Your benefits can be reduced or stopped for up to 3 years if you're convicted of benefit fraud. The amount of time they're stopped for depends on how many times you've committed fraud.

Why has my post been deleted? Please. All okay. Back up now.

What were you claiming to be a bank that the IO was disputing and why had the question of what was a bank arisen?

I'll keep this short as I already did a thread regarding this. Way back I was offered an account at a 'Credit Union' paying 6% interest. The first year immigration accepted the 'Credit Union' as a bank and accepted my 400,000 Baht invested as being acceptable for my 'Marriage Extension' deposit. The following year they refused saying a 'Credit Union' is not a bank. A 'Credit Union' definition is open to question along with a 'bank'.

Thankyou, and well done and good luck to your daughter. I wish her well. And you for supporting her.

Thank you. I hope you can teach your grandson to stick with his music. I'd recommend private tuition one on one. Learning at school has too many distractions in my opinion.

We have a lukrung16 year old daughter who is signed up to https://www.gmmgrammy.com/th/index.html  How she started was to learn the guitar first privately. Government schools do have music teachers but our daughter had it all mapped out that she wanted to go to boarding school. Whilst there she joined, with a few other musicians, and formed a band in which they participated in talent contests out and about with the assistance of the boarding school. She was later approached by GM Grammy(Bangkok) and they signed her up with our permission. She now lives in Bangkok under the cover of GMM. They teach her singing, music and acting etc. 

All I can say is it took a lot of hard work by herself to get where she is and hopefully the OP's grandson can do the same. Good luck

Fires where I live are an annual occurrence and premeditated. There's a 10 km road that runs from where I live to Route 24. Everyday it is used as a rubbish dump by drivers traveling it. For the local amphur to clean this up after a year of dumping will be cost a lot and is labour intensive. So what they do every year, around this time, they send out a tractor, towing a grass shredder down this route shredding all accessible dumped rubbish and dry vegetation. We all know that once this has been done someone will put a match to it. Always done at night. Consequently we have this annual wild fires. 

No sooner that the fire has cooled then out come the self employed rubbish collectors who collect all none perishables and take it for recycling. 

Also done on the lane dividers on Route 24 where road users throw trash out of their car windows.

I can't recall setting up my account but come to paying it always, automatically, comes up COD so I've always stuck with that.

Anyone tried it?

I tried it a couple of times as a tea but I don't recall it affecting me. All I can recall is how bloody horrible it tasted.

Where does it say it was being sold on 'public streets'?

You got the wrong story. That was in Pattaya 05 January.

I believe Kratom to be legal other than to sell to under 18's, and pregnant or breast feeding women. .

I have a 9 incher but I've never used it a a rule.

The reason is simple. Because it would cost +/-£1bn/year to do so.

 

Not billions but millions.

In February 2019, the Government estimated the cost of uprating frozen pensions to the amounts that would have been in payment had they not been frozen at £600 million in 2019/20, rising to £640 million by 2023/24. In 2016, the International Consortium of British Pensioners estimated the cost of ‘partial uprating’ (uprating frozen pensions from their current value) to be £30 million in year one, rising to £31.5 million by year three.
