The government has know your bank balance for years. I worked in a bank retired now. Each year, banks have to inform the government of any interest earned . By knowing this and the interest rate its easy for them to work out how much money You've held in your account.
This rubbish government have got to be removed, and people need to push hard for a general election, as soon as possible. This is plain wrong what they are doing to our people.
Let us see what Starmer has in the bank. I dont get pension credit. State pension is not a bloody benefit. it's what we in the UK have paid in all the uears we went to work.
It is not classed as a benefit. Funnily enough not for help with glasses etc. I know as my optician told me that I'm not eligible as state pension is not classed as a benefit for help with glasses
Although it doesn’t apply to myself, a friend of mine has been with her parents to their 2 banks and ask for it to be explained to them, the bank had absolutely no idea what they were on about, so I don’t know what or where this information is coming from 🙄
I would like to know, do migrants who have not worked 35 years to get a full pension, how does it work out for them, do they get pension credit or pips or disability or housing benefits to make up their non worked for pension, I might add this advert dose not include a mixture of British people like our daily adverts do, not being racist but it's not me that makes this add very obviously one sided, can't have it both ways.. So all those who fell short of 35 years working will they get a reduced pension after removing other claimed benefits or will it only be the pensioners who've done 35 years of NI? get their pension reduced after two tier spying on our accounts, which I believe is unlawful and encroaches on our ECHR because if you have not committed any fraud to obtain benefits, WHY DO THEY ASUME WE ARE FRAUDING the DWP?😊.
THE STATE PENSION IS NOT A BENEFIT. Most people have worked hard, paid tax and national insurance for all of their working lives, so that when they retire they get the pension that they are entitled to.
I’m selling my house now to live with my son, really getting scared they will take my home when I get to the point where I need care, paying exorbitant price for very little none experience care run by foreign people, .shame on this government ,
This government needs to be taken to court ASAP. Fight for your rights. Pensioners have worked and paid national insurance contributions and taxes all their lives. The state pension is simply paying back the contributions.
I started work at 16 and retired at 65. Never been out of work or claimed any benefit. I paide tax on every penny I earned. What little I had left over I saved for my old age. I am still paying tax on the money I saved and afew other pensions I have. In hindsight I should have spent all my money and claimed benefits. YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR.
Three minutes of complete waffle before you get any information. Seems to be written and anounced by A.I, lost count of how many times DW.P was said...
They want to check the woman across the road from me. Doesn't work ,2 kids apparently disabled. 3 holidays abroad this year. One of them being Disney. The insurance alone for these holidays would be expensive if she tells the truth.
They only have to check the tax returns for the Winter fuel payments and the same for the pensions. Suspicious returns could be investigated and fined🧐
Stop scaremongering. a) people who have done nothing wrong have nothing to fear. b) the state pension is not subject to means testing. Let's hope that all fraudsters are detected and punished.
I worked in a bank for 26years . If you earn interest on your bank account the banks have to declare the amount of interest you have received to the government . So if they know the amount of interest you earned, and they also know the interest rate. They can easily work out your balance. The government have know how much you have in the bank for years. This is the reason I have had my money in a non interest bearing account.
In my time in the bank (nearly 20 years) it was interest over a certain amount that was declared. So not every account with small interest credited in November, as it was, was not reported. Even on Equifax and similar would show your financial holdings.
Are there any banks refusing to allow this, I will transfer to them immediately. Is the government really saying they will sanction pensioners letting them starve and freeze
Since when was a pension a benefit???? This is something pensioners have been contributing into since day dot of working, take note Starmer, the word WORKING. All MP's including the PM should have their bank accounts at hand for the general public to view.

Luckily the rich people have their money squirelled away in hard to find places. So this should only really affect those just about managing. And those who don't know how to hide their money. I feel sorry for those who have gone without and saved for rainy days if the DWP judge you on that. A bit one-eyed if you ask me.
Take notice of this DATA PROTECTION ACT 2018 INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS under DPA 2018 and GDPR The individual has the right to ask for the processing of their personal information to be restricted or stopped The individual has the right to object to the processing of their personal information
I wonder if when spying on pensioners bank accounts will the DwP advise those pensioners who they find you are entitled to benefits but are not claiming, who thinks they will
Is it a computer that will decide? How many office workers is this going to take to manage, sounds like a lot of work. Just now it can take an hour of longer to get through to the DWP and somtimes you get through to the wrong person and then need to start again, it is so demoralising. Are they going to make us do it all on the computer. Oh dear.
The government are not doing us any favours we are receiving what we paid in for years from the age of fifteen to sixty years of age . This has been badly handled by government sources now it’s our fault the government over spends over pays undeserving sources ,! We now are expected to grovel pay for their overspending mishaps.
I hope the DWP are aware that it is easier to get a tradesman in for repairs if you draw money out from the bank for his remuneration. The reason for this is that he then knows he's going to get paid, no bouncing cheques or insufficient money in a customer's account. It's hard enough to get someone to do work on your house to begin with. Sensible people obviously. only use tradesmen who are recommended as reliable when doing this and don't pay upfront before the repairs are done. These checks appear rather over suspicious to many pensioners who are not fiddling the benefits system and who save as they can put as much as they can put aside, for funeral costs and other likely emergency payments. We can only see what the future will bring with these checks, let us presume they will be fair as promised.
If the banks give them access to your account s we should take the banks to court under the data protection acts they can't give your details to a 3rd party without a court order
This is the opening move to means testing the state pension, so thanks for paying in all those years but the government wants to give that money to other people.
Bank can't allow access of an individuals details unless given by the individual Or theres evidence of fraud taking place on individual account or theres a court order
I like the way that this video is trying to suggest to us pensioners that the State Pension is some kind of benefit. As far as I am concerned the contract between myself and the State, was that I had to have paid in a minimum of 35 years NI to be eligible for the New State pension entitlement. These are the words that were in the contract between myself and the State prior to my retirement. Also because I was quite healthy I carried on working and deferred my State Pension entitlement for a further 4 years. This means that I now get an enhanced payment on top of my basic State Pension entitlement, although I will also have to pay some income tax on this payment as it goes over the tax threshold of £12,570. It seems to me that there's now a concerted effort by the Labour Government and their stooges in the media, to try and convince today's pensioners that their State Pension entitlement is in someway a kind of benefit. I believe that the motivation for this strategy by this Labour Government, is that sometime in the near future they wish to apply means testing to the State Pension entitlement. After the success of stripping 10 million pensioners off the Winter Fuel Allowance, they can greedily see the advantages of applying means testing to the State Pension entitlement.
Where are the human rights lawyers regarding this communist idea. I am glad that I don’t claim anything but what about individual personal information. This government should be sued left right and centre.
Have been told that if you have savings they can stop money from your state pension as they say you do not need it. Apparently there was a pension on tv where they have stopped his pension as he took out a finance agreement on a carc3 years ago and they said if he could afford to run a car he didnt need benefits. State pension benefit! Never checked if he still had car.
It's all about means testing the pensioner you have worked all your lives to save for. Tell your kids don't bother with a pension they will only be punished. Tell them to live for today enjoy there money now.
State pension is NOT A BENEFIT, we have paid in since starting work at 15 years old, it is our savings with interest.

We so so so need to get reform in power before the other two party’s drive us into the ground
As we used to say in Primary School .Show me yours and I show you mine
Took everything out last year when they started talking about it.
They are already doing this. A close relative of mine has lost his HC 2 help with dental treatment, which was up for renewal.
All pensioners who are able should do a nationwide peaceful protest
Yes agree
Half of us are disabled and can do nothing about it sick of this he making what's left of our live miserable
The government are not doing us any favours we are receiving what we paid in for years from the age of fifteen to sixty years of age . This has been badly handled by government sources now it’s our fault the government over spends over pays undeserving sources ,! We now are expected to grovel pay for their overspending mishaps.
Yep I want to see every one in parliament... especially starmer and Khan.....
This was a Bill passed in December 2023!! brought about by the TORY government not the Labour government!!
This is so unfair we get the worse pension in the world Barr South Africa. Now thry want to stuff us for a fees bucks
Get on with it ffs....
When did a pension become a "benefit"
This is a GIFT for scammers - they’ve already got their emails prepared! The government should have an awareness strategy in place!
I hope the DWP are aware that it is easier to get a tradesman in for repairs if you draw money out from the bank for his remuneration. The reason for this is that he then knows he's going to get paid, no bouncing cheques or insufficient money in a customer's account. It's hard enough to get someone to do work on your house to begin with. Sensible people obviously. only use tradesmen who are recommended as reliable when doing this and don't pay upfront before the repairs are done. These checks appear rather over suspicious to many pensioners who are not fiddling the benefits system and who save as they can put as much as they can put aside, for funeral costs and other likely emergency payments. We can only see what the future will bring with these checks, let us presume they will be fair as promised.
When cash finally goes
Then even people who doesn't use cash wont know what hits them when they go to buy something and
The computer says no 😂😂😂😂
Let the British people check politicians bank accounts. Let us see 👀
So if you have let’s say 20.000 pounds in savings does that mean you will get less pension?
They can get into anyones bank account ,and the bank cheaks if people are putting steady money in without declareing where its from.
They are just going back to elderly hiding their savings in shoe boxes, they will be so frightened well done Stammer.
Surely if you are just on a Gov pension having paid in your N.I. all your working life, then surely there is nothing to worry about!
Maybe it's something us pensioners could do.
If the banks give them access to your account s we should take the banks to court under the data protection acts they can't give your details to a 3rd party without a court order
Why don't you just cut to the Chase !!??
This is the opening move to means testing the state pension, so thanks for paying in all those years but the government wants to give that money to other people.
Are they doing this to everyone or just OAP. IF NOT THIS IS MALICIOUS AND AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS.
What is the point of having a Data Protection Act??? 🙀
Draw your monthly pensions out the bank in cash every month even though you do not need it .
That why I am put all my money in my private pension
This just doesn’t sound right to me something fishy about this 😮
Bank can't allow access of an
individuals details unless given by the individual
Or theres evidence of fraud taking place on individual account or theres a court order
Hmm. The basic UK pension is currently not means tested. Let's hope it stays that way.
I like the way that this video is trying to suggest to us pensioners that the State Pension is some kind of benefit. As far as I am concerned the contract between myself and the State, was that I had to have paid in a minimum of 35 years NI to be eligible for the New State pension entitlement. These are the words that were in the contract between myself and the State prior to my retirement. Also because I was quite healthy I carried on working and deferred my State Pension entitlement for a further 4 years. This means that I now get an enhanced payment on top of my basic State Pension entitlement, although I will also have to pay some income tax on this payment as it goes over the tax threshold of £12,570. It seems to me that there's now a concerted effort by the Labour Government and their stooges in the media, to try and convince today's pensioners that their State Pension entitlement is in someway a kind of benefit. I believe that the motivation for this strategy by this Labour Government, is that sometime in the near future they wish to apply means testing to the State Pension entitlement. After the success of stripping 10 million pensioners off the Winter Fuel Allowance, they can greedily see the advantages of applying means testing to the State Pension entitlement.
Three red flags, Ai, the term deep dive and rambling narrative.
Where are the human rights lawyers regarding this communist idea. I am glad that I don’t claim anything but what about individual personal information. This government should be sued left right and centre.
Have been told that if you have savings they can stop money from your state pension as they say you do not need it. Apparently there was a pension on tv where they have stopped his pension as he took out a finance agreement on a carc3 years ago and they said if he could afford to run a car he didnt need benefits. State pension benefit! Never checked if he still had car.
It's all about means testing the pensioner you have worked all your lives to save for. Tell your kids don't bother with a pension they will only be punished. Tell them to live for today enjoy there money now.
There is no doubt about these scumbags.
