Hello
I am hoping someone will be able to give me some advice !
My partner ans I along with our 2 children Anya 2 and Caleb 7 (Special Needs) and seriously considering moving to France.
But I big concern is our Son, does anyone have any knowledge or experience of how the "Disability System" works in France?
For example, we claim DLA, Carers Allowance, we have a Motability Car, we get a wheelchair provided is this the same in France?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi there
welcome to the forum. This might be of help to you - it's from the British Embassy website:

British nationals planning a permanent move to France are advised to consult the UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) at the earliest opportunity to obtain advice on their longer-term entitlement as residents to health care provision under the French national system. Enquiries should be made to the DWP Overseas Medical Benefits help-line on 00 44 191 218 1999 which is open on Mondays to Fridays from 08.00 to 20.00 daily. Alternatively, information can be obtained direct from the English language service of the Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie (French social security service) on 00 33 8 20 90 42 12 or CLEISS (the Helpdesk in France for international mobility and social security) on 00 33 1 45 26 33 41, website: www.cleiss.fr
