Excel Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Well the triple lock calculation for UK pension rises for the following year are based on the inflation rate in September. Given that they have just published the July inflation rate as 10.1% ( higher than anticipated ) I wonder how much it will increase in the next 2 months. ? 12% in September perhaps ? If it were it would certainly bump up the state pension. Oh yes, before the usual trolls on here jump in I am talking about the increases in the UK state 2023 pension for those that qualify and are entitled to it.

I informed them by letter that i was resident in Thailand but i did'nt do this until some time later after completing the online claim for the state pension. I elected to do the claim online using my UK address as it was much easier than completing the forms and posting them back to the UK. It was never my intention to claim the increases i was not entitled to as i was living in Thailand and knew the rules but i was somewhat dilatory in informing them. My eventual honesty came back to haunt me as the DWP then seized upon the opportunity to treat me as the UK's worst criminal lol The money i had received illegally was no big deal to repay it was peanuts but i was somewhat surprised to be sanctioned with a 50GBP penalty for my honesty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's good to note your honesty but to clarify and to put all that other misleading garbage written by others to bed, It was not that the DWP did any research etc etc to discover that you were not resident in the UK , as some on here misleadingly claim, but rather, only due to your honesty as you informed them that you were UK non resident. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me from reading these threads that they find out you are breaking the rules either by somebody informing on you, or yourself telling them, and hardly ever from them investigating you as a routine check by looking at your bank details or travel history. It is also apparent that when they do find out they can impose a fine and make you pay back over payment, that's clear from the letters posted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also apparent that when they do find out they can impose a fine and make you pay back over payment, that's clear from the letters posted. That would seem to sum it up exactly. However it would also appear to be the case that the £ 50 penalty was simply imposed because @Pumpuynarak knowingly filled the form in wrongly by his own admission and hence seems to be more of a fine for doing so. Hence of course he had to pay back that monies to which he was not entitled. If he had actually been in the UK when he completed that form then no fine could have been levied and if he had left the UK sometime after then they, either be by somebody informing, or yourself telling them, and hardly ever from them investigating you as a routine check for which it was noted by others elsewhere, there is no documented evidence supporting that theory. If anybody wishes to check exactly what information the DWP holds on you then you can make a request to; https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-your-personal-information-from-the-department-for-work-and-pensions. other useful info https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-work-pensions/about/personal-information-charter Edited August 18, 2022 by Excel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I think that will only apply to those who are receiving pension credits, and to receive pension credits you must have less than £10.000 in savings.

From what i see most who arrive her have British bank accounts and a UK address,they dont even need to transfer money,,they can get a relative to do it to them,so their bank never knows where they are .

Anyone receiving a UK private/company pension, holding life insurance, banking in the UK etc will have great difficulty convincing HMRC they are not ‘normally resident’. However, unless you gain significant tax benefits for not being ordinary resident, remaining ‘ordinary resident’ may have its advantages. The Government have on a number of occasions hinted the tax free allowance may be removed for non residents. As the tax free allowances rises, this could be a significant financial issue for many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
