Hello, we are new to this forum and have an interesting situation that perhaps someone has experience of "Application for Disability Pension". I am British but have worked the 50% of my working life in Norway (EU Economic area member 'same regulations as EU}) and previously 50% UK. I had an accident in Norway whilst resident and employed in 2004. I was given temporary 100% disability after 3 years, to be re-viewed thereafter every year. I have been on temporary 100% disability since then and now have been invited to apply for permanent disability by the Norwegian Social Services. In the Norwegian Social Service’s letter to me, they state that I must apply via the French Social Services and the French Social Services (though the Norwegians will pay my Disability Pension should it be approved and not the French). The French Social Services must send E-204 & E-205 to the Norwegian Social Services direct. The French Social Services have issued a letter stating that "I am not pensioned nor receive pension money in France" and that is all they are willing to do. ie; No E-204 & E-205 from the French. They give no reason except refusal. My temporary disability pension has a time limit until 15 December and then I will loose my temporary disability pension. Does anyone have any similar experience within the EU or EEA and is it normal that the host country where you reside applies for disability on your behalf or do you deal with the country in which the accident happened and where you originally resided and paid taxes? Lastly does Norway have the right to stop my temporary disability, since EU law applies? Do the French Social Services normally supply E-204 & E-205 etc applying for permanent disability to other member states of the EU? Any comments would be greatly welcome, regards Richard & Else
