[quote user="cooperlola"]Andy is correct, imo, although like all these Eforms it is now called an S1 - dependents of UK residents are entitled to get their cover paid for by the UK, up to the levels a French citizen is entitled to - ie you should still consider top-up insurance. Your o/h can also get healthcare here, either via the S1 if he works in the UK and is resident in France (formerly the workers' E106) or the EHIC if he continues to live in Britain. Get your o/h to chat to the DWP (I'm not quite sure which office you need but somebody like ANOther will know as he is still employed in the UK.) Once one or other of you reaches UK state retirement age then you will be fine and covered by the UK once again. [/quote] thank you! Is top up insurance french or english - not sure how to get this? I assume the bureaucracy I deal with is the DWP in the UK but what do I show the french? I only have the european health card at present and travel insurance. thank you, sorry the quote went a bit bonkers
