Re: Medical Insurance
I went wrong somewhere. I receive a Service pension plus a small pension for working on the German net. I also get my old age pension from the UK. The medical insurance people charge me over 200euros a month. I have taken it up with Berlin but they are not really interested.:(

Re: Medical Insurance
OK. I am in a similar position to you and at the moment am not paying anything for German health insurance, although as I said this is likely to change after Brexit. Have you spoken to the AOK about it? They send me a special form which I have to fill in every now and again. The form is also in the SOBAGs somewhere - I started doing this before I retired. I could try and find out the reference number of the form if you want, but at the moment you could try asking AOK if you haven't already.

Re: Medical Insurance
The only thing I am wondering, is when you worked on the German net you might have forfeited the right to the NHS arrangement.

Re: Medical Insurance
The free health care is paid for by the NHS in the UK via the AOK so as long as you have made enough payments to the NHS to qualify you will get it.

I do get a German State pension for the time I worked there though. A not inconsequential 450 euros a month. |
Re: Medical Insurance
I'm with the DAK. Maybe I should not have declared my Military pension although they have changed the wording on their forms so that you have to declare all your income. Mind you, I now claim a refund on my prescriptions and cost of travel plus parking fees for Doctors/Hospital visits.

Re: Medical Insurance
Most of it depends on how much entitlement you built up in UK, how long you have been 'out' of the UK system and whether you have any entitlements from there and also how long you have worked in Germany and what entitlements you've built up there. It's a minefield because both UK and EU keep changing rules/qualification requirements. Careful study online can help a lot.
HALES: you need to take a close look at UK rules and what you built up there before you left as a civilian and your forces time. Once you know that you will have a clue as to whether NHS will cover (some of) your medical charges. Otherwise you will pay normal medical cost in Germany like now. |
Re: Medical Insurance
The only qualification to get an S1 form is that the recipient must be in receipt of a UK old-age state pension (or other "exportable-benefit") - link here; I understand that they have stopped issuing them to expats who are not in receipt of the UK state-pension. On receipt of the form, you register with that countries relevant Health Authority, you can then apply for a UK-EHIC card to use in any other EU/EEA country.
