A guy I know had his pension stopped twice because he changed address and didn't notify DWP. It was a pita to sort out, his son had to call UK for him in the end

I've done 3 of them now, roughly every 3 years. If you don't return it your pension is stopped

You can find the form on the GOV.UK website.

It has to be posted, they included an addressed envelope, but you have to pay the postage.

I sent mine registered so that I could track it and had proof of delivery if anything went wrong at their end

They don't have to use Skype, you can call from Skype to a landline or mobile phone.

I use it to call government departments in UK

This is what the UK gov website says about driving here

"If you are planning to drive in Thailand, see information on driving abroad. You’ll need to carry both the 1968 version of the international driving permit (IDP) and your UK driving licence while driving. You cannot buy an IDP outside the UK, so get one before you travel.

If you live in Thailand, you can apply for a Thai driving licence using your UK driving licence."

I have had 3 of these while living here, number 1 was signed by my GP - she charges for doing it. Number 2 was signed and stamped by reception in my condo and the third I have just had signed and stamped by the piya baan in my village.

1 and 2 accepted by DWP without a problem and I assume number 3 will be as well
