My husband was originally down as my dependent but when he became a state pensioner he had to get the relevant paperwork from DWP and apply here so that he was in the system independently.

Re: Midical card
I don't think it is compulsory. I am still down as a dependent, 7 years after getting my own E121.
I will get round to it sometime, but strictly speaking INSS have no idea that I am entitled to have an E121 (S1) as just because you reach UK retirement age does not mean that you are automatically entitled to one.
