S1 Us to Uk entitlement?
 
I am a US citizen. I receive the UK state pension because I worked and was resident in the UK for more than 30 years. If I move to Sweden, an EU country, would I be entitled to an S1 (or whatever its designation is now post Brexit) so that I can join the Swedish health system?

thanks in advance.

I have a feeling that only those covered by the WA ie living in the EU prior to Brexit can now get an S1 however you can get an answer straight from the Horses Mouth by phoning the DWP Overseas Health team on 0191 218 1999 having your NI No ready

You moved to France in 2016 - are you still there? If so, you're probably eligible for an S!; if back in US then more problematic?

As far as I'm aware the S1 will be available even if not covered by WA?

Has anyone who is worried about whether they can get an S1 phoned the DWP as I suggested as I am sure an answer would be helpful to others

I called the DWP which confirmed that because I paid my 'stamps' in full and receive the UK state pension I am entitled to the S1. I am now in receipt of it.
