Dear Fellow Thaivisa.com Posters,

 

 

I would greatly appreciate ur kindest helpful replies to the following enquiry ;

 

 

EU Citizens on Department of Social Welfare "Pension" etc from respective country of EU [ incl. UK ( still in EU ) ] ;

 

Some specific Questions :

 

1_

How successful have u been with getting Dept. of SW Allowances for ur Thai "Child" & / or "Spouse" with u all based in Thailand  ?

 

2_

And, for circumstance where for whatever reason u have been delayed in applying, or indeed notifying, the department / ministry,- how successful have u been with getting payment backdated to when 1st child :

 

2_1

conceived [ standard 36 weeks prior to birth should be approx. date basis of course ] ?

 

2_2

born ?

 

Thanking u in advance for all ur constructive help.

 

p.s.

I accept that there are folks out there who are against the concept of these payments being given to expats.

But, to them, please note that I wish for this thread to not receive such opinions.

I just want the FACTS ONLY as to :

 

X_1

What was [ & perhaps also continues ] to be policy

 

X_2

What is current policy

 

 

Regards,

Re; ur questions

 

1_

I prefer not say because :

 

1_1

Since membership EU has effectively dissolved each constituent country's sovereignty, & also the fact that the principles of EU norms & each country needing to represent itself as "bankable" country, etc. it follows that this enquiry is vitally important & applicable to all "state pensioned" EU citizens.

So, specific name of country is not necessary to be stated.

 

1_2

As I am in dispute with my country for they not issuing me these allowances back-dated, as specified,- I necessarily need to protect my situation vis-a-vis Consulate, or other hostile bureaucrat, noting my enquiries on the internet whereby I return with concrete evidence of any EU country issuing above allowances back-dated as mentioned.

In fact, I was told verbally, by ex-pat, that to back-date these payments according to my position is standard per that expat's country [ Not my country though ].

 

2_

I put Child & Spouse separately in "double inverted-commas" for purpose of helping reader to know that I am entitled to SEPARATE allowances for each.

And, yes, I am entitled to such allowances ;

And, am receiving allowance.

But, I have dispute about "back-dating" the allowances as stated above.

The bureaucrats are holding fast to date when I, in person, told them formally at their office in my country ;

Although, I had told them shortly prior by phone-call.

But, moreover, in Thailand, I was effectively prevented from telling them when I learnt that my spouse / wife / partner pregnant because :

 

2_1

my contact agreement as expat was broken -- grievously --  by the bureaucrats

 

2_2

searches by me of my state's "actual" websites, & also "quango" websites, did not inform of these actual entitlements, & thus ==> I had no function in telling them ;

However, on the prompting of an expat from another EU country informing me that this entitlement applies to his country, & some more for sure, I breached this matter when I returned to my country for to procure personal mobile phone number of senior civil servant with whom I originally had special contact agreement for to get help Re; any problems I might face as expat located in any country.

Upon returning to Thailand, I submitted documentation -- incl. Thailand Birth Certificate, & scanned completed Application Form as attachments -- to my state.

Subsequently, I have been receiving payment from my state.

 

Again, the issue at hand is ;

 

ALLOWANCE FOR "CHILD", & ALLOWANCE FOR "SPOUSE", TO BE BACK-DATED TO :

 

X_1

DATE OF CONCEPTION

 

OR FAILING THAT

 

X_2

THE DATE OF BIRTH
