There are no benefits to your state pension being married  , and upon your death the Thai wife does not get any money.

State pension when I started working was available at 65   now they increase the age for eligibility every year  until eventually no one is eligible..they would rather spend that pension money on Ukraine,Israel and anywhere other than the workers who paid unavoidable taxes in the first place  🤮

Have you already applied for your state pension and been asked to supply a marriage certificate? If so, ignore the rest of this message. 

 

If not - and you are about to apply for your state pension - then you do not need to provide a marriage certificate. You merely need to confirm that the date of your marriage. 

 

I applied recently over the phone (+44 191 218 7777)? I was hanging on for +/- 5 mins and the application process took +/-15 mins. Listed below are the details which I had to supply:

 

•           Contact details (telephone numbers, address, email address)

•           Marital status (including dates of marriage, death or divorce)

•           Spouse’s UK National Insurance number if they have one

•           The date you left the UK (month and year is acceptable)

•           The name of your last UK employer and the date you left that employment (month and year is acceptable)

•           If you have lived or worked in any other countries than the UK, we need the dates that you lived/worked in those countries as well as your social security numbers for those countries if you have one

•           The banking details of where you would like to be paid.

Why does telling DWP that you are married cause a problem?

lol never ever show your hand unless absolutely forced to

 

In reality it doesnt but its highly likely to invite requests for information and documents which may be impossible to provide for reasons various

 

I think I'm still married but have absolutely no idea where the bint actually is
