USEFUL INFORMATION HEALTH CARE FOR RESIDENCIA
USEFUL INFORMATION HEALTH CARE FOR RESIDENCIA
by Tootandploot » Fri Aug 25, 2017 2:06 pm
Thought it maybe of some use to share some information received re the above.
Having been advised I need S1 to evidence UK health cover to enable an application for residency I was advised by the Pensions overseas health care team in Newcastle that we do not qualify as you must be in receipt of a state pension.
Telephoned again today and spoke to a different very helpful lady who advised that we can get an S1 but it is a different S1 for workers and is dealt with by HMRC (tel: [url=tel:00443000555734]00443000555734[/url]). This department deals solely with S1 for workers so you get straight through. The lady explained that the E106/109 has been superseded by S1 and that an application should be made on Form CA 8454. Dependants can be put on the same form to save a duplicate application. Postal applications are currently taking 46 working days and therefore the advice is to make an online application through the government gateway and which is currently dealt with in 7 days. This is an annual certificate and needs to be renewed and therefore an application for renewal should be submitted 8 weeks prior to expiry.
Please note that only one party needs to be working in UK but dependants can be included and this should absolve the need for private medical care for those under pensionable age thus saving a few bob.
Hope this helps.

Hi there. Very useful indeed. Do I understand that you are
1. Under pensionable age
2. Currently working - in Spain or in the UK
We are both under pensionable age, have our residency but currently get our healthcare via the Convenio Especiale paying €60 per month each.
Do I understand that we could now get an S1 form to obtain our healthcare. We were refused this 2'years ago.
Look forward to your reply
Many thanks
