Re: Medical arrangements
It was introduced in 2008 that all documents have to be officially translated.

Re: Medical arrangements
Can someone help me please understand what we will need to do.
My husband and I are both 62 and retiring at the end of April. We are planning to move to live in France and I am confused about how we will stand in respect of medical cover.
I am in receipt of a State Pension here in the UK but my husband is not entitled until he reaches 65.
Will I be covered under the French system because I am retired? and does my husband come under that through living with me? do we need to sort out additional cover?
Thanks in advance

Re: Medical arrangements
Hi everyone. My wife is in receipt of ESA and DLA in the UK and we're planning on moving out to France in April next year when I can draw my company pension at the age of 55. Reading between the lines on this post and others, could you confirm that my wife can apply for the carte vitale with me as a dependent and then we just need to top up via a mutuelle? Thanks and apologies for any mis-spellings

She will qualify for an ongoing S1 whilst on ESA from the DWP which can be turned into a carte vitale at CPAM.
The S1 is valid whilst on ESA and the normal time limits don't apply they can be open ended or valid for 8 years depending on the medical status of the applicant. Contact the DWP Overseas team in Newcastle closer to the time of departure.
