Fair point about the real fraudsters but if you are paying your taxes in the UK why shouldn't you be entitled to NHS treatment and pension increases?  With the upcoming changes to non-dom status, this will get even more complicated.

Because its illegal and therefore fraud.

The state pension is a benefit. Any pensioner has every right to move to Thailand and receive the benefit. They are not parasites.

Not the annual state pension upgrade and not free access to the NHS if they are Thailand residents. That's fraud

Are you Keir Starmer the granny harmer??

 

The problem with the UK is mass immigration from the third world. 

 

Not some old fella on a pension. Put The Daily Telegraph down. 

Are you really one of the many benefit fraudsters from the UK claiming to be a UK resident whilst living off UK state benefits illegally in Thailand? Really?

I wonder how many sphincters here on AN  tightened up reading this from the Mirror:

 

The UK Government website says a British citizen may still be able to claim some benefits even if they travel or move abroad, or even if they already live abroad. But there there are several instances where it is classified as fraud if you have benefits paid to you while abroad, which can include.

• Not telling office that pays your benefit you’re going abroad, even if it’s just for a visit
• Deliberately not reporting a change in your circumstances while abroad, like buying a property, working, or claiming a pension or benefit from another country
• Being dishonest in order to get benefits, like continuing to claim the pension or benefit of someone who has died overseas
