Korat Kiwi Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 43 minutes ago, TroubleandGrumpy said: There is a reason they are travelling all the way to UK to claim political asylum/refugee, and it aint the weather. How do they tell the difference? Most fleeing Myanmar are mainly women and children and some old men (the men stay and fight) - fake refugees are mainly young and middle aged males. I tend to agree with your post. I've seen it in several countries. These so called refugees that have somehow studied a countries welfare system and know damn well how to use/abuse it to their advantage. Most genuine refugees don't have the money/education to know any of that let alone money to afford transportation to get out of their country. In NZ a few years ago we had one of these so called refugees try and hijack a regional plane and take it overseas. The pilot suffered cuts to his hands fending off the crazy biatch. She was from Somalia, consequently spent a bit of time in jail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A get together for the frozen bunch no doubt giving themselves a (colder than cold hug) , hoping against hope that bank account checks do indeed go full throttle, but then so what? It has been stated by the Secretary of whatever that nothing will happen, no dots to join up, but if there was ,again, so what? Jealousy rules here, I'm getting it, and you aint...that sums it up.

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 (edited) Given that the DWP took several months to get round to paying my pension, I rather imagine any investigation will look like a cross between the Keystone Cops and the closing credits of The Benny Hill show!

Like if your bank account shows no UK withdrawals and a large transfer to Thailand every few months , they will put 2 + 2 together . If they investigate you and notice you've been acting fraudulently for a number of years , they will back date their claim and they can reduce your current benefits by 20 % to pay off the money . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiber Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Can a old age pensioner with unfrozen pension living in frozen land be prosecuted? Some UK state pensions are subject to being “frozen” when received by expatriates living abroad. This means that the pension amount remains fixed at the level it was when the individual retired and does not increase annually in line with inflation or other factors. Approximately 500,000 British people living abroad are affected by this policy, which contrasts with the triple lock system that applies to residents in the UK1. While this can be frustrating and mentally disturbing for pensioners, it is not a criminal offense or grounds for prosecution, or retribution ie covered by non-sanctionable/disqualifying For example, if someone falsely claims additional benefits based on their pension status, that could lead to prosecution. Legal Considerations: Pensioners should ensure they comply with the laws and regulations of the country where they reside. In summary, while living in a frozen land with an unfrozen pension will not lead to prosecution 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
