Medical coverage for kids
We have lived in Seattle for 26 years and are thinking about a move back to the UK for medical coverage reasons. All 3 kids have UK and US passports but have never actually lived there. I worked for 8 years before moving out here. Neither myself nor my husband have paid NI contributions in the time we have been away. Our 22 yr old son has multiple medical issues ( type 1 D,fibromyalgia, thyroid) and I am not sure if he or any of us are eligible for NHS coverage due to the length of time we have been away. I cannot find any info on the government website as to how we can ascertain that info so was hoping you lovely people might be able to help.
Many thx in advance |

Re: Medical coverage for kids
this is where i am not sure. we became US citizens about 10 yrs ago but retained our british passports. Some people have said this means we are no longer considered British citizens

Re: Medical coverage for kids
we were both born in the Uk as was our eldest child. We became US citizens about 10 yrs ago and hear different views as to whether we can still claim British citizenship

If your British passports have expired you can renew them here:

You still don't seem to be understanding. You don't have to CLAIM British citizenship. Becoming a US citizen had no effect on your British citizenship.

Many thx in advance https://www.gov.uk/check-state-pension Once you have your pension forecast, it may be a good idea to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions (backdated for the last 6 financial years) in order to get a bigger UK state pension - https://www.gov.uk/pay-voluntary-cla...onal-insurance While the whole family - being British Citizens, can get NHS coverage as soon as they are in the UK, they will need to satisfy the habitual residence test before you can access UK welfare benefits - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/be...ming-benefits/ Your children may need to apply for a National Insurance number once they are back in the UK - https://www.gov.uk/apply-national-insurance-number If you forgot your own National Insurance number, you can ask the DWP to do a search for you. Please see link below for details - https://www.gov.uk/lost-national-insurance-number |
