I don't think so they use it routinely, I just shared the information to raise awareness and see if others had been affected.

Yes I saw this last week and noted Kasikorn bank was supposed to be ok! I'm just checking because as I said, I know of someone who has had a refusal from Kasikorn last week.

Not only are you wrong , you're wrong at the top of your voice.

Not really bud, what you pay in has no relation to what you can possibly get out (say you live until 95 etc ) there is no fund invested in the stock market its money taken directly from the tax payer each week, I don't like it anymore than you, but the fact is by law it's classed as a benefit.

A labour advisor close to Rachel Reeves (Edward Troup, ex HMRC big wig ) one of his quotes was " the codgers have got all the money and they need to be paying more" has recommended that access to the old age pension should be means tested.

I'm afraid your wrong, apparently it is classed as a benefit in the UK, it's recently been clarified during the rumours that Labour are considering means testing it. Google it you'll see.
