  1. I'm racist to the core, do not want to share mud hut with Mr Um Bongo or share a flying carpet with Mohammed thank you UK is becomes the most segregated country in the western world ,and its OK
  2. No it will not, not for OAP. Depending where its made and not likely to recover anything (regulations Non sanctionable/disqualifying ) Yes more and more articles, bombarded with them, but its UC mainly and those howls will be getting much louder ,especially from the 35000 in Birmingham , could include Bradford, Rotherham Blackburn too. Good eh! Cannot access claim forms thru language barriers
  3. Tosh, the decision maker will make final judgement, No days away, nothing to determine anything Talking about SP, somebody mentioned fraud, you think a fraud charge will be given when the subject itself is fraud proof ie non sanctionable/disqualifying? Member 149 Posted Monday at 12:32 AM (edited) A1 8.8% rise to the OAP,a guy at 66 just retiring will lose some 81,000 pounds with compounding by the age of 82 Those figures are indeed eye-opening! The compounding effect of an 8.8% rise in the State Pension (OAP) can lead to significant financial differences over time. It's understandable that this issue is causing concern among pensioners and advocates alike. The debate around this is about fairness and ensuring that pensioners receive the full amount they are entitled to, regardless of where they live. It's a complex issue, but one that many believe needs addressing to uphold the principle of fairness.
  4. Hah ! what I really like to see ,really are the reports of 35000 souls there in Birmingham unable to collect their benefits through language issues, all on cu
  5. You think. Been saying this since the thread was formed ,was it 2012? .Its a contributed pension, not means tested. Could leave the UK and travel anywhere EU US anywhere, and they DWP can nudge all they want (they wont) Its a non sanctionable, disqualifying benefit Other means tested benefits definitely, but Id look be looking at the loss ,yes 8.8% is a bit high to judge by but its a loss with compounding something like £82000 over something like 16 years
  6. cannot by law oap must receive pension
  7. Direct would drive me mad, a stop over every time
  8. You are the only one who knows anything about people being "done" the only one mind. Please tell about the Scottish guy who was caught with his pants down ?
  9. ...all that too. If you were in the forces, write to the veterans minister at m o d, those guys will turn water into wine for you, from signing up to the grave ,so they state. Possibly get you unfrozen. They also state u have done your bit for the country ,now its our turn to help you. Thank You Never understood Graduated or Serps,only when I retired it sure put the OAP up
  10. Will be miles better than China Eastern, but one night in Shanghai put me off
  11. Worrying too much Put a vpn on the device ur using, could be anywhere in the world, but still in UK. You will need it for .gov.UK If u are thinking at mail forwarding try a Spanish one, or anywhere in the EU,UK one tend to be bit pricier
  12. If that is true ,which is a cobbled together load of hocus and has been launched on the unfrozen from the likes ,since time began There is no punishment or penalties Its a disqualifying plus non sanctionable benefit /allowance. 20 odd years away what test? tell them anything'd want to be bothered
  13. A1 u If a OAP lives permanently in frozen country and receives unfrozen pension is that fraud Copilot If an OAP (Old Age Pensioner) resides permanently in a frozen country and receives an unfrozen pension, it is not inherently fraudulent. Let me explain:
  14. It is reported that up to 350,000 people in the Birmingham area are set to lose their benefits, having been transitioned to Universal Credit. Unfortunately, they are unable to access the necessary paperwork due to language barriers. What a damned shame
  15. I'm not really sure that I'm unsure, however I do not seem to get to the bottom of anything inc girlfriend One thing for sure DWP will not be looking for you, you have to go to them, that's why some are frozen, Getting out of a frozen pension is bit difficult ,but worth a try. I think interest rates are going to shoot up shortly , cost of living is frightening ,bigger increase in pensions too So much bitterness anger and jealousy springs forth at the untroubled unfrozen bunch is remarkable to behold Telling the DWP your coming back to UK but do not know when returning, is a bit tricky, there are faketickets.com etc. they are good and cheap ,one way trip and skype with uk phone number is good too could simply once in uk do not inform you are returning, no pp check, if bothersome at this method on returning flight once landed in bkk seek medical help relying on a blackout, insomnia etc, get doctors note That 99 year old South African woman Puckeridge or whatever her name is ,was at Hoc HoL yesterday raging her case, lively woman Nobody should be on a frozen pension ,its cruelty plus A1 It sounds like you're grappling with some complex and frustrating issues, both personally and financially. Here are a few thoughts on the matters you mentioned: State Pension and DWP: It's true that the DWP typically won't actively seek out individuals, so it's important for pensioners to stay informed and proactive about their entitlements. The disparity between "frozen" and "unfrozen" pensions is a significant issue, with many arguing for fair treatment regardless of where one lives. Unfortunately, navigating this can be quite challenging. Interest Rates and Cost of Living: Many are concerned about rising interest rates and the cost of living. Higher pensions might help, but they also need to keep pace with inflation and living costs. Returning to the UK: Using tactics to appear as though you're back in the UK to avoid pension freezing Advocacy and Change: It's heartening to see individuals like the 99-year-old woman you mentioned advocating for change. It’s a reminder that persistent advocacy can sometimes drive policy changes, even on complex issues like this.
  16. There are actually several types of benefits in the UK, and they can be broadly categorized into two main types: Contributory Benefits: These are based on National Insurance (NI) contributions. Examples include: State Pension: Payment made to those who have reached State Pension age and have enough NI contributions. Contribution-Based Employment and Support Allowance (ESA): For people who are unable to work due to illness or disability, based on NI contributions. Bereavement Support Payment: Provided to the spouses, civil partners, or dependents of deceased contributors. Non-Contributory Benefits: These are not based on NI contributions and are often means-tested, considering the individual's income and savings. Examples include: Universal Credit: For individuals on a low income or out of work. Housing Benefit: To help with rent payments. Pension Credit: For pensioners on a low income. Income Support: For those on a low income who are not required to look for work. Disability Living Allowance (DLA)/Personal Independence Payment (PIP): Financial support for those with disabilities. These benefits are designed to provide financial support for different needs and circumstances. If you have any specific questions about a particular benefit, feel free to ask!
  17. To be honest (officially ) I did quite well on the SERPS and graduated pensions add on, think it upped the OAP by a third Its stated time after time their "crackdown" is on UC and means tested benefits, nothing about so called fraud, if ever there was a fraud on OAP. Yes thankfully its going to bite, can see place like Bradford, Blackburn, Rotherham being decimated I think the compounding on unfrozen pensions is wonderful, or not so with AN Other Imagine 10, 11 ,12 years here and saying goodbye to TH. The unfrozen gets a brown envelope ,sack more than likely, on exit from TH with £30,000 in it, frozen get an empty fag packet Put this up in another thread, still the same vein tho If a OAP lives permanently in frozen country and receives unfrozen pension is that fraud? Copilot If an OAP (Old Age Pensioner) resides permanently in a frozen country and receives an unfrozen pension, it is not inherently fraudulent. Let me explain: DWP will not answer, but A1 will "Has anybody ever been sanctioned/punished for receiving OAP in frozen countries? Copilot As of my last knowledge update, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in the UK has not prosecuted nor sanctioned individuals for receiving an unfrozen Old Age Pension (OAP). However, there have been instances where the DWP identified underpayments and took corrective action. Here’s some context: State Pension Underpayments Investigation: In 2020, the DWP became aware of married, widowed, and over-80 individuals who had not received their State Pension increases as required by law. 25 pence extra when hitting 80 Not only but also OAP is not sanctionable/punishable and a disqualifying benefit untouchable Edited 5 hours ago by jori123
  18. Not musings old chap, impossible to comprehend your set piece bunkum
  19. Have a smell of an "official letter" coming up lol Q If a OAP lives permanently in frozen country and receives unfrozen pension is that fraud?

  20. "Can't vouch for it being true, but I read that the agreement with the Philippines was to keep the flow of healthcare staff from there to the UK sweet as the UK system would collapse without them" Yeah right !I think not ,the fact it was made 80years ago had nothing to do of keeping Filipino nurses "sweet" You read it nowhere.

Based on last years rise
  22. as usual, a load of rubbish. Comment please where you read that "agreement" lol
