Get rid of ALL the military, money problem solved.

Why not get rid of all those who claim benefits illegally which is theft. Jail them and stop their pensions and benefit claims for life, especially those that live offshore.

 

The problem won't be solved completely, but it will be a start.

Can't remember where I read it, but it was a government official saying if you are just claiming basic pension they will not be looking at your bank accounts. If claiming pension credits and other benefits where the 16k limit on saving applies they will be. This vid seems to be scaremongering suggesting if you are claiming your pension only they will be looking at your account, why would they if that's all you are claiming and  entitled to and it's not means tested, yet.?

They have the ability to look at your accounts to see if you have additional inflow if cash for example from second homes and not declaring it to HMRC. They can also see if there is money being received that could be tracked to illegal iswsvsucjvas drug money , yes who would be silly enough to put that straight into a bank ...but , also they will be able to see if money is being sent regularly overseas for example Thailand and wallop pension frozen ... So there are a few reasons  they will be looking  even if you are not on benefits ....

Can you show a link where it is confirmed that they will be able to do this/intend to do this, if you are not on benefits?

 

I am sure it will happen at some point but I don't think it is intended with the initial set up which is still some years away from going live from what I have read.
