Bad News for UK citizens with Thai wives

[Nobby]

Just tell your wife that if you die just keep taking the pension.. Fook the British Government.. Most of the bankers should be in prison..

Nice idea toffo but unfortunately the British embassy seem to inform the DWP and the pension payments cease immediately.

That wasn't the case when Tom passed away last June,His pension from the I-O-M didn't stop until January THIS year

Does the IOM fall under DWP ?

We have had 3 cases this year where the state pension stopped immediately.

I don't know,I would assume it does.

I worked over there for a while (IoM Bank) and there are still some peculiarities re Law & Benefits,
