I did listen to recorded message for about five minutes, no information useful to me, got tired & hang up.
I googled S1 form, got this website. www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/yourinformation

Read more...

I sent them e-mail, got reply immediately which surprised me. After providing my details said will e-mail me S1 form within 12 - 24 hours.

Thank you. I can't find a relevant email address on that link and searching "S1" returned no relevant results. Please would you share the actual email address you messaged and from which you received a response.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi,

I emailed the address you gave and was advised that it is for people who have NHS occupational pensions, not State pension.

Kind regards,

Kim

Thank you for this. The phone number you give is a recorded message which is useless.
I contacted NHS in Newcastle and they will e-mail me S1 within 24 hours.

Hi,

I've checked the information I gave and the telephone number is correct: Overseas Healthcare Service +44 (0) 191 218 1999. For anyone who does have the patience to listen to the recorded message, you need Option 5:

I received my S1 any way, one day after requesting it. I am sure DWP take much longer and they don't correspond by e-mail.

Thank you. Is it possible to download S1 form or do I need to ask DWP to e-mail me one ? Is it free ?

The DWP will ONLY post it to your Spanish address, this forms part of their criteria for accepting you. Mum's arrived within a week.

Blimey. How did you manage that? They were insistent with Mum that they would only send it to our Spanish address. We tried before we even left the UK but got the same answer each time. It's great though that this is now being emailed.
