I was aware my UK govt pension would be frozen as is my private ones I had taken that into account when I was planning retirement. Problem is two pensions,one with company pension address, one (OAP) with another address. for tax payers and (IM one) Your main address will default to company pension address,but no stress as OAP will not be affected,tax authorities will do nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fangless Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 No Triple lock in April 2022. From the Daily Express today 16/11/21 The House of Commons this evening voted against an amendment to legislation that sought to force the Government to rethink its plans to break its 2019 manifesto commitment. (on the triple lock) Instead, pensions will increase by 3.1 percent, in line with September's inflation figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny41 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Repayments when someone has died If there has been an overpayment DWP will write to you asking for the money back from the estate. They will tell you how any overpayment has been worked out and explain why it happened. They will also tell you how to pay. https://www.gov.uk/benefit-overpayments/repayments-when-someone-has-died dear sorry for your loss letter followed 2-3 days later by repayment within 14 days letter or the person dealing with your estate has to provide reasons why they are unable to make the repayment. For UK bank accounts the DWP can access those accounts if required 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should think so. Its the thought tho of years of self denial for no good reason, earlier stated the SP was non-sanctionable, could not have been clearer. even more clearer now with abridged wording Bound to have a following the frozen lot,bitterness at thoughts of loss and more-so at continuing loss.
