Not sure this will effect me too much. I am 60 now, and my plan is to be living in the UK again by 67 and come here for maybe 4-5 months a year after. The government should actually leave it alone and just increase the weekly amount for pensioners anyway - the pot of people they are looking for here is just not worth the effort and on top of that if they make it too hard to stay in Thailand by going after pensioners, then the amount of money the returning pensioners will be asking for rental help from the DWP will far exceed what they will get back in revenue collected in stopping increases !
Funny thing is though, that the UK government should do a deal with thailand to start retirement pensioner villages, as taking care of them here is probably far cheaper than in the uk.
