UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
Indeed.Some have become fixated on the 2016 reforms that turned the state pension into a single tier arrangement. They seem to think the previous years also became a single tier arrangement under those reforms. Following the 1975 pension reforms the politicians had allowed themselves and a selct part of the population to take money that should have gone to the national insurance fund and put it into their own workplace pensions. I doubt it was coincidence that this came at a time the UK was experiencing the highest inflation rates in it's history. The arrangement quickly came to an end when investment returns became much lower, with the government issuing the COPE guarantee. Those that opted out of the government additional state pension scheme are now receiving their additional state pension as part of an NI enhanced workplace or private pension, which is effectively indexed linked worldwide and for some protected by the DTA. Your comment that you did quite well from SERPS is a bit speculative. The government has never revealed how much individuals paid into the additional pension schemes so no way of knowing how it compared to the returns of a private scheme. In 1988 when contracting out was widened to greater part of the population the government even started bribing people with taxpayers money to opt out the additional state pension scheme. Until 1988, people could only contract out if they were members of a defined benefit (DB) occupational pension scheme. In 1988, the government extended this to defined contribution (DC) or money purchase occupational schemes and personal pensions. For the first five years of the scheme, the government paid an extra 2% of your earnings into your personal pension. By 1992, more than 5 million people had left Serps for a personal pension. https://www.which.co.uk/money/pensions-and-retirement/state-pension/what-was-contracting-out-ascMg4t2I7Hk -

Government Revamps Non-Hate Crime Guidelines Amid Rising Controversy
The clue is "non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) " It was a hate incident, not a crime. All completely ridiculous as far as I am concerned, a waste of police resources! -
