What proof do they need? Philippine entry and exit stamps in your passport is one of the requirements, apparently.

Hmmm, you claimed that you were able to leave the UK without having to show a passport.

He wasn't and he didn't...unless he was a stowaway.

Obviously that it false. No one can exit the UK without a passport unless it is a UK citizen leaving the UK via Northern Ireland into Ireland .

So I have to call B.S. on this OP and on the Brits claiming they suffer financially now with this. Since the law to freeze those types of people specifically in those countries. The Brits complaining actually and knowingly put themselves into a position that is causing duress. That is 24 years this law was implemented. Surely the Brits did not move here expecting more than what was given by law then.. Yes it was bullshlt, the policy has been in force with every government for over 70 years, not just since 2000!

I did watch it and every operative he spoke to gave him a different answer, nobody knows for sure it would appear. I have searched the internet to find an answer to your post that you cannot find a link to and all to no avail. I got the answer from your post - the video - I did not post that I had a link; you know how to get confirmation, call them. Not every IPC requirement has to be on the internet, when you speak to them you can ask them why. You should also ask yourself if it is not unreasonable to assume that the IPC would require evidence of Philippine residency from someone who is suddenly trying to claim an increasing pension that they have not been entitled to for years.

Wake up sour pus, he means did they record the number plate. You obviously didnt "wonder" today! How could you ever know that he didn't mean what he posted? Wake up!

Why wonder that? Police do not remove offending vehicles' registration plates.

Where was it reported that he did a runner?

I'd bet a lot of money that no rule book anywhere suggests to "never anticipate another driver's actions"!

That is part of the requirements that were explained in the video that you posted - did you not watch it?... https://youtu.be/LfJcTLIMsUA If you do not believe it, you can call the IPC on the number that was provided in the video and get the verification from them yourself but maybe you'd still refer to that as hearsay.

Er, a sentence constructed in that manner unequivocally states that Thailand is a Commonwealth country. No, it does not. It seems awkwardly worded but It does categorically state that... "Most British Commonwealth countries are included in the frozen list; [Semicolon] The part after the semicolon ("...these include countries, such as Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Thailand and India...") indicates countries that are also just on the frozen list, it is not claiming that those additional countries are Commonwealth countries. To do that (i.e. introduce a list of countries set up by the first clause) would require a colon (:), not the semicolon (;) that was used (using correct grammar) to join the related independent clauses together in the same sentence without the need for a conjunction. Those who are unable to understand the uses of colons vs semicolons will never understand the actual meaning of the sentence.

What is the reason that the Philippines is exempted? Because it has a reciprocal social security agreement with the UK.

Why would you assume that?... You posted it! Give them a call, all the necessary phone numbers are there IN YOUR OWN LINKED VIDEO. https://youtu.be/LfJcTLIMsUAsi=VWHcaLsgMSLmpK1E

Do you have a link for your assertion please Lou? There was a video on the subject posted a day or so ago BY YOU explaining the documentation that the International Pensions Centre of the DWP requires to evidence residency. You don't seriously think that they would just take the best part of half a million frozen pensioners' word for it, do you?! Here's your own link!... https://youtu.be/LfJcTLIMsUA?si=VWHcaLsgMSLmpK1E

I believe if you read it correctly, it lists examples of the countries as it states, "these include countries such as..." indicating that the heading; "Most British Commonwealth countries". I know what it says, how it is written and what that means, it does not state that Thailand is a Commonwealth country as I suspect you are suggesting. "Most British Commonwealth countries are included in the frozen list; these include countries, such as Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Thailand and India..."

cant find anything to back what you said about canada. link please. Not hard to find evidence if you search the question... The following is a list of all the Frozen countries Countries where English is an official, or widely spoken, language are shown in Red. Afghanistan Congo, Democratic Republic (Zaire) Jordan Papua New Guinea St Helena & Deps Albania Cook Islands Kenya Paraguay St Lucia Algeria Costa Rica Kiribati Peru St Martins Andorra Cuba Kuwait St Vincent and the Grenadines Anguilla Djibouti Laos Qatar Sudan Antigua Dominican Commonwealth (Dominica ) Lebanon Rebublic Of Georgia Surinam Argentina Dominican Republic Lesotho Republic Of Armenia Swaziland Ascension Island Ecuador Liberia Republic Of Azerbaijan Syria Australia Egypt Libya Republic Of Belarus Tahiti The Bahamas El Salvador Macau Republic Of Kazakhstan Taiwan Bahrain Ethiopia Madagascar Republic Of Kyrgyzstan Tanzania Bangladesh Falkland Islands + Deps Malawi Republic Of Moldovia Thailand Barbuda Faroe Islands Malaysia Republic Of Turkmenistan The Russian Federation Belize Fiji Maldives Republic Of Uzbekistan Togo Benin Mexico Republic Of Yemen Tonga Bhutan The Gambia Monaco Rwanda Tours Bolivia Ghana Montserrat Trinidad and Tobago Botswana Greenland Morocco San Marino Tunisia Brazil Grenada Mozambique Sarawak Turks & Caicos Islands Brunei Darussalam Namibia Uganda Burkina Faso Guatemala Nepal Saudi Arabia Ukraine Burma Guinea Nevis, St Kitts Nevis Senegal Uruguay Cambodia (Kampuchea) Guyana New Caledonia Seychelles Vanuatu Cameroon Haiti New Zealand Sharjah Venezuela Canada Honduras Nicaragua Sierra Leone Vietnam Cape Verde Islands Hong Kong Niger Singapore Virgin Islands (British) Cayman Islands India Nigeria Solomon Islands Central African Republic Indonesia Norfolk Island Somalia Zambia Chile Iran Oman South Africa Zimbabwe China Iraq Pakistan South Korea Colombia Japan Panama Sri Lanka European Economic Area Member States

I think that is a possible answer to those willing to think outside the box. I did an internet search and it's possible to open a Philippine bank account on line without even going to the Philippines. Surely finding a Philippine address can't be that difficult. Providing DWP with copies of the Philippines in and out stamps in your passport proving that you are living there for the required number of days will be if you're not living there.

Not if you cannot provide proof of living there, you don't.

You think wrong, it has been a policy for over 70 years.

You wonder if Thailand knows that Britons claim what? There is a semi-colon after the phrase "in the frozen list".

Well before any of them voluntarily made their personal decision to live, in retirement, in a country that precluded them from the increases (pre-1954).

I reckon poor quality food, no cold water, no aircon and maybe a bit of anal. They are both in a financial position to be kept supplied with reasonable food courtesy of the prison shop and/or food sent in for them. No cold water? Huh...how is that an issue? I doubt that they'll be able to find much anal in there, it's a Thai prison, not a US/UK/Aussie/ European prison.

I know how it works. I question why. The charges should not reflect the medical report. The charges should reflect the action The charges certainly should reflect the severity of his injuries and the seriousness of his injuries reflect the driver's actions.
