Does anyone have experience of reinstating a pension withdrawn by DRV on the ground of lack of cooperation?

Unknowingly, something went wrong with the initial submission of the documents requested each year. Due to the time it takes for European post to reach you in Thailand, the withdrawal notice was issued before receiving the reminder.

Communications with DRV have been painful for months, be it by post or online. Despite multiple attempts to follow the DRV objections' procedure, there is still no response or even an acknowledgement. Calling has proved impossible without speaking German.

Finding help in Germany from AI/ Google is not obvious; perhaps someone has a contact?

Kind regards

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean the yearly confirmation that you are still alive? If yes you can download the form at the DRV website and send by courier or EMS to them.
