It seems at some time DWP will send out "Life Forms" to see if you are still alive :yikes: and entitled to your pension. You have to fill in the form add a photo get the photo authenticated from the list of people you used for your passport. The authenticator must hold a British, Irish, American, or EU passport.
This could be fun over here :Erm::Cuckoo::icon_lol:
EDIT, another page says authenticator does not need a passport

On one of my private pensions I've been doing this for close on 10 years already.
Just need to have my declaration witnessed by a professional though and that's it.

I seem to remember my dad getting a similar form some years ago.

Is this an ammendment to the existing requirement or a completely new requirement ?
Do you have a link ?

I wonder how many state pensions/benefits are being paid out in the sub continent to persons long deceased :Erm: With serial fraudsters like there are in that part of the world I'd make 'em turn up in person at the embassy for authentication
