No problems as long as residence in PI can be proven. I believe if they are suspicious of a frozen pensioner conveniently "moving" from a frozen country to a non-frozen one, such as the PI, they'll be looking for passport stamps as evidence.

This forum changed its name a few years ago. I'm well aware of that and the poster to whom I responded posted his comment this week, not a few years ago.

Actually if you are signing on the dole, i.e. NOT Working your NI contributions are still paid. I know that, I was quoting BritScot, tell him.

"No, it's not "theft" ". What is that then? It's one of the rules of the state pension scheme that has been made public for something like 70 years, that's what it is.

Maybe you would prefer to call it legalised fraud. No, no one in their right mind would call it that, either, I'd just call it the rules of the state pension scheme.

I am not getting involved in a debate with someone who makes it obviously that they think it is OK for the UK government to cheat OAP's of their annual pension increases. As someone affected by frozen pensions, I have never advocated for the policy.

I doubt it. If she left again she would be better keeping quiet about it. She would continue to be paid at the same level as when she left.

"State Pensions are now generated by those working". That is nothing new, it has always been the case, your NICs are not "yours" in an individual fund.

.

Why?? Because it is theft, that's why. To my Knowledge there is no UK PM who has made any comment on this, and don't tell me they don't know about it. No, it's not "theft" and Boris did.

Who cares? Nobody cares when a farang is assaulted by a Thai. It's applauded. To justify that cobblers, FruitPudding, just one example of Thai authorities' doing that would be interesting to read.

Every UK PM in the last 70 years who is still alive should be arrested and charged with theft. Why?

The channel specifically states that it is not a real estate agency and is only marketing the properties, it makes no claim that it can facilitate ownership. Of course the leasing of property exists, legally.

Yes, they can, legally, buy a property, it is the land that foreigners cannot own.

"...they've bent the old laws so much..." Who is the "they" that you're referring to? Foreigners cannot own land through leases and using nominees is illegal and runs the risk of losing both the investment and the property.

Was it? I think that your speculating wildly on that for the benefit of your OP but if you have spoken to them and had it confirmed, then I stand corrected.

Advertising property for sale is not illegal. Are you claiming that they are offering to circumvent the property ownership laws, if so, where did you get that information?

It is advertising houses, villas, condos and hotels, not just condos, that's why he mentioned nominee companies.

the 51 being the "catch".....just enough to lure you in before they strike Before who "strikes"? And "strikes" with what?

Yes we are . We have a governor installed being a crown dependency . My passport has British citizen on it ... And you should know that being from Liverpool lol Yes, IOM is a self-governing British Crown Dependency and part of the British Islands but not part of the UK. Not being part of the UK means that, by definition, the IOM cannot be part of Great Britain, either. I'm surprised that you do not know the content of the Isle of Man Constitution.

She is obviously very ill in order for doctors to refuse to issue a fit to fly cert...that will be noticed at check in.

We're lucky, originally state pensions were not paid at all to those living abroad...we should be thankful that we get anything.

Not part of Britain, either.

No.

The reason has been explained many times.
