UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
A "Life Certificate" is sent out, and if not filled in and witnessed as required, your pension is stopped. You are assumed to be dead. It happened to me because although posted 'Priority' from the Netherlands it took months to arrive here in Thailand. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
There is no anti pensioner attitude. Yes freezing, but only what you admit to. One letter a year from dwp informing of pension rise is sent out, make sure that is not returned. Can access nhs any time -

Thai elderly to soon receive 10,000 baht cash aid: Finance Ministry
Seems like they're purposely punishing the typical Move Forward Party voter, who tended to be younger and able-bodies. They promised 10k to everyone, but now the people who didn't vote for them are being left out of the payments. First they sent it to disabled, and now they are sending it to the elderly, who are all more likely to have voted for a traditional party. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
I am not sure whether or not a mailbox service would be acceptable to my bank. And even if it was, it might not be acceptable to yours. Best to enquire with your bank. My address in Thailand is fixed. I have been renting the same crummy property since December 2007, because the rent is affordable. Still. Despite the fact that property prices and rents in and around Mae Sot have gone through the roof of late. Special Development Area. Followed by an influx of refugees resulting from the savagery of Burma Army towards the civilian population, including this time those of Burman ethnicity. And then there are also the dalans and collabos whom the Resistance seeks to eliminate. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
I sold my house in England in 1974, the year I bought a ramshackle farmhouse in the Périgord Noir. Moved to the Aude in 1988, and still own the property there, in a remote hamlet in the foothills of the Pyrenees. I believe you will be classified as residing in Thailand if you are there for more than half of the year, irrespective of the visa you have. But check it out with the relative U.K. authority. You MAY become eligible for Thai income tax if remaining in the country for more than half of one calendar year (the Thai tax year is not the same as that of the U.K.) If you lose U.K. residential status - irrespective of U.K. citizenship - I believe you will need to re-establish such status by three months residence before you are covered by the NHS. Check it out. I think almost impossible for me, but in your case you can return to your U.K. house and in three months you will be once again a U.K. resident. If my understanding is correct. If concerned about loss of the annual increment of pension, think of the Philippines. You will get it there. I came to Thailand not to retire but as an unpaid volunteer teacher of English to refugees seeking resettlement - and the ability to communicate with the outside world. And after about a dozen years of coming to teach, I continued coming because of relationships. And then got stuck here because of circumstances beyond my control.
