The pension is paid four weekly. You can choose to have it paid into a UK account, or an account here.
I started receiving my UK pension last month. I downloaded the forms from the Internet:

Although now part of HMRC, Newcastle Upon Tyne, are efficient.

Sorry that is the one if you want to do it online.

This takes you to the forms to print out and send:

Thanks Gazza, If I can get an address for six months in the Philipines, I could just get my pension paid in to my UK bank. I will come and talk to UK expats, I know there must be some with a Philipines address I can use for six months of the year.

Would that not be fraudulent? I'm not sure many would entertain such an idea.

As long as the 6 months in country requirement is met, no it wouldn't be fraudulent, immoral perhaps. Non-dom is a very common game to play to avoid UK tax by the rich so why shouldn't we.

If youre flying into Clark (Angeles) use tiger, they have great rates for this flight, if you arrive at night, arrange with the hotel you book to send a transport/taxi for you as the taxis there will rip you off. Youll have to pay around 300 but its better than what the airport taxis will charge. Daytime is much easier, just get in the jeepneys just down from the arrivals and they'll drop you at SM Clark, from there ask a security guard to get you a trike and give him your hotel name, only about 80 pesos, if they're trying to be smart, give them no more than 100p
Lots of hotels in Angeles, you could just walk in, Sunset Garden i can recommend as Ive stayed there, cheap and clean with a nice pool etc. you can reserve the room online at their website and pay when you arrive....its about 1000 baht a night but they do discounts for longer stays.
If you go to Manila instead, try to head to Makati, theres lots of expats around the area and although its nit as cheap as Angeles, its nice. Couple of bars you would surely meet a fair share of expats would be the howzat or heckle and jeckle, im usually in one if those anyway!
Hope this helps a bit.
Cheers,
Chris

Well you are so right i for 1 will not use a UK address that's for sure. Just because i,ve worked since i was 15 and paid my taxes ever since and even so the freeloaders can claim i will still never try and trick the UK Government of whom i trust wive my life. Ok its 5 years off i may change my mind by then
