Who mentioned lying ? , i said change your mind .

It may be that the fictional character in this scenario is unsure about whether he will stay in the U.K. or just see how it goes.

If you're unsure, you should tell DWP you're unsure, else that would be a lie.

So you are saying if you returned to the U.K. with the intention of staying then simply change your mind after 1 year your pension would be frozen at the rate you next left the U.K.?

 

So its all about declaring you are going to stay but then not staying and you will get the newer frozen rate ?

 

Anything to back this up ??

 

 

No......there is nothing to back it up.

Well frankly that decision over uprated state pension awards will be shortly null and void anyway

 

As per the other thread over new Taxation issues Thailand has joined earlier this year the reporting group which reports back to your home countries tax office monies that sit in Thai accounts and usage of such

 

DWP will have little difficulty in assessing in short order who should be getting it and should not......

 

State Pension is not sanctionable though despite what people think or claim and its on the DWP website (I was also very surprised)

 

As its unlikely you're living overseas solely on state pension they'll still get their pound of flesh back though somehow but if you are they can do nothing about recovering back payments

So don't tell them you've gone back to Thailand!

 

The naivety is beyond staggering it really is......IF and I repeat IF the DWP (or HMRC) etc wanted to know exactly where you are for whatver reason (the country) they can access in 30 seconds flat where your passport was last utilised from UK passport office all now interlined let alone from the airlines manifest also recorded

 

I find it incredible that anyone can be this naive on a repeated basis

 

You still got an abacus at home as well ??

Don't think they recorded such things before Brexit.

I used to walk on and off the ferry UK/France and didn't even take my passport out of my pocket, nobody seemed to care.

But you may be right, the UK authorities still think I'm in the UK, so maybe it's just a glitch with my data.
