The term non sanctionable does not have its ordinary meaning that the benefit cannot be used to pay a penalty. As an example a pensioner who is imprisoned loses entitlement to state pension. So what you are stating that non-sanctionable(in its ordinary meaning)cannot be used to pay a penalty,is this your gobbledegook or does it (DWP) actually state as such,as I read the passage the DWP states specifically that other entitlement (maybe) adjusted that are attached to named benefit,so the actual benefit is untouched The example you give is nonsense to being a penalty as such for there is no punishment penalty there,what he had is made up from penal system Gobbledegook,in its purest form,either non-sanctionable is punishable,or is not,in its "ordinary meaning"as addressing the State Pension "For example" I think you are clueless as to the subject matter Edited January 24, 2020 by izod10 Link to comment

I think one of the reasons I didn't get my heating allowance the previous year was because my flat was rented to a pensioner for 6 months during the qualifying week and they wouldn't make two payments to the same address to different names, without some kind of checks beforehand.

The State Pension is not a sanctionable benefit , meaning it can not be reduced or stopped as a form of penalty. However this does not exclude a fine or repayment being levied against a person receiving the state pension. If you look at the DWP website it gives 3 seperate actions that can be taken either individually or as a combination. Link to comment

They do, the 2014 Immigration Act included a requirement for carriers to record details of all passengers leaving the UK and pass on that information to the UKBA, effectively these exit checks mean information will now be gathered on people leaving by any commercial transport and passed onto the Government, replacing the Embarkation Controls scrapped by a previous administration. This part of the Act is in addition to the information supplied under API, Advance Passenger Information, requirements, which already recorded the vast majority of those leaving the UK and passed it on.

I don't believe the DWP can find out which pensioners are living abroad, where or for how long. Maybe they could follow one pensioner, with a court order or two or three. But in general no way. The databases aren't linked, they don't have the staff or the interest. I will never admit I am living anywhere but in the UK to anyone. No matter what, even if it meant jail.

You're right, the databases aren't currently linked, though a previous Home Secretary once told me that he planned to work wth Ministerial collegues to ensure that they would be in the near future, to my knowledge that never happened. I'm not sure that I agree with your view that they don't have an interest, I think they do have and I think it's quite likely there will be a joined up approach sooner ot later, who knows you might be a guinea pig one day. 2 Link to comment

Muhendis Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Going back to the UK for a short stay is a great idea but to do it simply to get more money? Considering travel costs etc., I doubt if that would be cost effective. Link to comment
crazykopite Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The new pension scheme was introduced in April 2016 it only entitle individual born after 6April 2016 the new payment was around £150 per week prior to April 2016 you would be on the old rate which was around £125 per week and is now currently around £130 per week on top of this as you live in Thailand it is frozen unless you return to the U.K. on a permanent basis or move to a country that has an agreement with the U.K. it should be noted even if you return to the U.K. for a short holiday whilst you are there you are entitled to the current rate but it’s up to you to call the pensions people and let then know your date of arrival and the date you will be leaving . Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment

As far as I can remember the qualifying week is around 19 September so if you are in the U.K. during that week you are entitled to claim Winter Fuel Allowance Link to comment
