It was,but there are influencers here that pick up on that.the only way to establish truth is by asking DWP directly (no answer) or A1,it's good.......chatgpt

. how many unfrozen ex pats have been sanctioned receiving unfrozen in frozen land blah blah ?.  None,  same with co pilot etc . people who state other wise are bitter and angry at losing a ton of money 

 

 

Really.............☺️

DWP Fraud, Error and Debt Bill. Statement from Liz Kendall on 8 October.

The Eligibility Verification measure will not give DWP access to any bank accounts, nor any information on how claimants spend their money. The proposed new power instead helps verify benefit eligibility, using very limited information from banks and financial institutions. A human being will always be involved in any investigations and any decisions taken afterwards that affect eligibility or benefit awards, as they do now. This measure will not be used on the State Pension.

The only one telling porkies here is you, never a link to support your claims, why is that.....?

 

You also, after calling me a liar, never responded to a member of staff's post about a bloke he knows getting caught, why is that.....?   🤔

Tell me, is this a chat thread for all to comment on with what ever views they have on the subject...?

 

As far as I am concerned, what ever is said here makes absolutely no difference to anything, yes/no...?

 

What it has shown me, is blokes who are on the fiddle must attack, which is a bit odd as nothing on here will change anything......

 

What I don't like is folk making stories up, telling lies even and calling me a liar, which, I will NOT let go.

 

A bloke on here posts a lot with NO Gov. links, nothing, the same bloke that calls me and a member of staff, liars.....🤔

 

To remind you, nothing posted here changes anything, what ever you do is your business, and up to you......

Your speculation beggars belief.....there are millions in the UK claiming benefits in one form or another....so you seriously think they will target pensioners who have their pensions paid into a UK Bank as to are they actually resident or not

I never said they would target them.  I said they may have the ability to pursue all their financial transactions if they decided to.  Your speculation and assumption is ...

I live in Thailand and worked here previously for 7 years and have a Thai spouse.

I began to receive my UK state pension in May 2023. Last May 2024 I did not receive the UK indexed linked increase to my monthly pension.

I discussed this with a former colleague / friend who lives in the Philippines with his Filipino spouse.

He told me that he does receive the annual increases to his UK state pension but was aware that UK citizens living in some other countries are not entitled to the same annual uplift.

I visited the UK.GOV DWP website to investigate this apparent anomaly. I was very surprised indeed to learn that is true.

This seems so unfair without ant reasonable basis!!!

Surely entitlement should be based on citizenship and contributions paid over the years of the working life and not on address of residence.

I think this case of unfairness should be put before the International Court of Human Rights if the House of Lords do not correct this blatantly wrong policy.
