DWP in the UK new powers from January 2025

[nong38]

A new law is being passed for the DWP in the UK to stop fraud, as from January 1st 2025 they will be able to access bank accounts where they suspect fraud may be taking place, all UK banks and building societies will be included by 2030. Thy will be looking at benefits claimed if you have over 16k in savings and also particularly highlighted, pensioners living abroad who claim to still have a UK address but out goings are going abroad. Data protection seems to mean nothing, privacy nothing. Another nail in Democracy, its the sort of thing I expected from behind the "Iron Curtain " this is in addition to all the surveillance cameras and phone location, things are not what they used to be. Soon the powers that be, the ones voted in will be able to ell you where you can and cannot spend your money.

Perhaps a wiser move would be to stop handing out assistance to those who are flocking to the shores of the cornucopia of endless benefits known as the UK, for which they've contributed nothing to nor in the greater majority of them will contribute nothing to whilst they lay in free leeching comfort in the UK. The state sponsored theft of pension payments to some 550,000 ex- pat pensioners  payment is indeed a disgusting and paltry act, penalizing those who have paid in full. Look after your own first please

This was discussed quite a few weeks ago, just waiting for Transam!

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, which will give the DWP these powers, is still at the House of Laws report stage.

 

Given when a general election is called, this bill may be passed or not in time.

Yet the DWP has repeatedly acknowledged their is no possible fraud linkage as to OAP.   If you could possibly in your own good time please direct me to the wording that indicates fraudulent behaviour that indeed would be sanctioned /punishable/stoppage of OAP

I have no foreign payments leaving my UK bank account or debit card.

 

If I had such payments my UK bank would cancel my bank account.

Specifically not OAP,  but more to do with long term issues Pension Credit, UC, PIP AA payments, Sickness payments, housing and so on.

Is there something in there about prosecution to get their money back, and/or to revert your pension to the date they estimate you left the UK to claim that money back, if so, could you point it out please.....?   😉

I mean, this was sent to me regarding my pension..... 

[Chivas]

I mentioned this the other day elsewhere when it was raised on the DWP own website

The state pension or OAP as many call it is not sanctionable in any way. It cant be stopped or over payments recovered from

 

I'm not going looking for the exact passage of text before someone asks for a link but I to was very surprised likewise

Adult Dependency Increase.

 

    I do not know exactly what you are trying to indicate with reference to OAP, likened to requirement to having a licence for a dog

 

  You want to pipe down and go away,anybody living in Th with unfrozen pension knows they are untouchable

What questions specifically have I not answered?

  I have shown you linkage to what you requested  (benefit fraud)  none therein.

 

  It seems yourself through abject jealousy and the eyewatering losses you have suffered want to drag everybody down that hole with you

[brianthainess]

Well thanks all for making it all perfectly clear ............

Benefit is not the OAP. So my 'friend' will get reported for sending money overseas once a year, or not. ?????

Same ol' trollop. Nothing in Gov writing about the questions I asked you, what a surprise.....😂

UK pension is not stopped if you get caught fiddling, but it is reduced to the rate they say you moved to LOS, then they want the overpayment back, that is fact....

 

Is Tiber a bit worried about getting caught, yoooou bet.......😁

UP state pension is classed as a benefit.

I think the dots are beginning to line up, the big brother PC is collecting all the data, the PC will issue the letters, man will deal with the final nail......😱

Absolutely correct, with the aim of tracking down many of the above payments

which are sent abroad by fraudsters. 

 

Unfortunately, this in turn will have the effect of ensnaring OAPs living abroad and

still claiming a UK address to maintain a full pension.

 

The good news is the DWP says it is only going to be rolled out on a test basis from

next year and then take five years to fully implement..
