Hundreds of thousands of medical workers from the Philippines working in the UK 

50,000 Thai people living with there husbands living of the system 

Interesting. I assume Filipino medical workers would not come to the UK to work if their pensions were frozen then the NHS would collapse. But the Government is quite happy to screw over British pensioners. They are of course quite happy to tax UK state pension and private pension and levy inheritance tax.

  • On an aside Britain currently provide £13.3 Billion annually in overseas aid to countries that even have space programmes   Yet lets crucify pensioners living abroad where the "fraud" is est

  • Maybe the UK government should stop treating it citizens like criminals, or second-class citizens, and start paying them their pensions unmolested.

    The biggest fraud is implementing a system where the UK Government can treat its pensioners unfairly based on where they live even though they have all contributed the same.

Philippines has a 'reciprocal' agreement with the UK...........

At the police station the police had alot of evidence.His passport stamps..his flight bookings and a bank statement about where he had drawing money.He had to pay back every cent to the government and was sentence to jail for about 20 days.If ur government want to check they will find out everything they want to know.

The two instances that the topic gives of pensioners getting caught, personally I reckon are bull<deleted>, totally made up to give it some sort of credibility. There was another topic same as this last year, a scaremongering poster who is very vocal on here, said someone he knew was investigated, but it wasn't for the pension, like he said, it was a disability claim. 

My friend was nabbed, but it was for PENSION, not OTHER benefits or disability claim..............🤭

Why do folk here keep getting confused over posted facts, why, because they read others twisted facts..................🤗

If you actually did your homework you find that it has nothing to do with "geography" and all to do with reciprocation!

I don't need to do any homework. I've known exactly how this works for twenty odd years. You're just splitting hairs.

You mean Thai residents in the UK? The UK Government doesn't want Thai residents in the UK. Any thing that they can do to deter them is welcome by the Government. The Government needs Filipino health workers or the whole of the NHS and the care system would collapse.
