No. How would it help to have it paid by Spain's INSS, rather than the UK's Pension Service?
Kind regards,

You could get discounts on many things if it was possible.
I wonder what discounts if any are available for non-Spanish pensioners.

There are already discounts available to non-Spanish pensioners. From the age of 50, you can join the Pensionistas (through your local Ayuntamiento); it costs Eu 20 per year to be a member, but you then have access to discounted holidays, travel, etc. Our Pensionistas receive a free Christmas hamper every year, discounted retaurant dining, including a Christmas lunch, which is a lovely way to meet your Spanish neighbours and practice their language.
I think there's another pensioners' organisation you can join once you reach State Retirement age - but I'm not there yet, so I'll leave it to others to comment.
Kind regards,
Kim

The thought prompted by Kim, you can join Imserso and get cheap holidays.

Thanks, but these discounts do not help me. I need discount on energy bills, optical, dental costs, etc.

The Spanish don't get such discounts, other than those with a Tarjeta del Mayores, so why should you expect to?

Of course they do. They get 25 - 40% discount on energy bills.
