Cancer Patient's Welfare Card Benefits Mysteriously Revoked
21 Jul Khaosod

On July 21, 2025, reports emerged that state welfare card registration continues to spark public concern across Thailand, with numerous applicants claiming they failed to meet the selection criteria. Supranee Daosuek, 39, from Suchai Pattana Village in Si Khiew District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, disclosed that she registered her mother—who is battling cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure—for the state welfare card to help reduce the family's financial burden, as her mother had previously held such benefits. When she checked the status the first day, her mother had qualified and been approved, bringing relief to the family. However, when she checked again the following day, the benefits had been mysteriously removed from the system without any explanation, shocking and confusing the family. She questioned why proving "poverty" status had become so difficult. The family rushed to the bank seeking help to verify the eligibility information, but bank staff found no record of any benefits in the system and said they could not assist without data in their database. The case has deeply disappointed the family, who are demanding that relevant authorities urgently investigate the facts, explain the reason for the cancellation, and ensure fairness for all those affected by this welfare card registration round.
