Don t forget that the S1 healthcare is only available for UK pensioners who are claiming UK state pension and for some who have some exportable benefits.

We're not sure yet if new S1's will be issued after Brexit.

Thank you for that Steve I misunderstood the instructions for the S1. I read it understood that it was for transferable benefits for any age. Because of my circumstances wouldn’t require me to take on this S1 up anyway

Hi Steve,

I Did go back and have a look at this again, As the long term plan could we be move across full time,  Please see below from GOV.UK site. 

UK-funded healthcare using an S1 from 1 January 2021

If you’re living in Spain before the end of 2020, your rights to access rights to access healthcare will stay the same from 1 January 2021 if you’re either:

  • receiving a UK State Pension
  • receiving another ‘exportable benefit’
  • a frontier worker (someone who works in one state and lives in another)

This means that you’ll get:

  • continued access to healthcare in Spain using your UK-issued S1 form
  • a UK-issued EHIC for travel
  • planned treatments in other EU countries via the S2 route
  • access to the NHS in England, Scotland and Wales when you’re visiting the UK

With this stating "either", I take from this you don't need to be of pensionable agwe to obtian a S1

The clue in what you posted there is "living in Spain"

Not on holiday or visiting.

Health care and pensions  are all written  in to the withdrawal agreement for for UK citizens who are legally resident in Spain  before the 31st of December 2020,leaving  with a deal or no deal will make no difference.

Is that an official and guaranteed statement from the UK government and the EU ruling authorities?
