UK Disability Benefits Abroad: One Woman's Experience in Thailand

A British woman, Ellis, residing in Thailand, is receiving disability living allowance (DLA) from the UK. She receives approximately £2300 monthly. Her payments were briefly stopped after reports on TikTok, but were reinstated. She states, "They tried to send me in for an assessment, but I manipulated their system and used it against them." She used a benefits expert to avoid an assessment due to agoraphobia. This case raises questions about the UK benefits system's ability to support citizens living abroad. The video also highlights the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities navigating complex bureaucratic processes. Her continued receipt of DLA, even while living outside the UK, highlights the potential loopholes and complexities within the system.
