News Forum - British expats uncovered in Thailand as UK probes pension fraud
There are a lot of poorly evidenced ideas spouted, surrounding this issue. The first is that the frozen pension situation in the UK, as far as I know, has never been legally challenged, up to the Supreme Court, as I suspect that the DWP would lose under the new discrimination laws. Second, is that the new rules are primarily aimed at those claiming State pension benefits, over and above the basic State Pension, that is indeed clear fraud. One chap living near me here is claiming a housing allowance, pension credit top ups and disability allowance. It's idiots like him they are primarily after. Lastly, unless you have PR here, you are not resident here, you are a visitor. If you continue your UK house, electoral registration, pay UK tax and submit a annual tax return, claim no State benefits from the UK social care system and don't directly own a house here, as a primary residence, the UK authorities would have a hard time challenging that in the High Court. I suspect that it's not in their interests to try. Those that think that a clearly inefficient and dysfunctional UK Civil Service is capable of delivering on this, to any great degree, are deluded. They will catch a few benefit claimants, no doubt, but the bulk of pensioners, wandering about overseas, cruising the World with the Cruise Lines and having long visits with relatives in other countries, will, I suspect, be left in peace. Could be wrong about all of this of course ! -
