Cooperlola, Thank you for your reply.  Its as I suspected, but I wondered if anyone else had been in this situation.  Certainly the Physio dept. here is much different to the hectic hospital one I once had treatment at in England.  So I suppose its just not feasible, but as the Kine asked me I thought I would try to find out. Many Thanks. Gillian  

If someone is having physiotherapy here but has a holiday booked in England, can they carry on the treatment there and be covered by the health insurance card?  I realise it won't be 100%, but it has been suggested by the Kine that it is best to continue the treatment without a break.  I have looked on Ameli but can't find the answer.  Can anyone help?   Gillian  

  According to the Independant this morning he said "go away you poor cretin".  Thats not how my French husband interpreted it!  

My vet in England once told me about the Marmite trick.  You put a little bit on their nose, they lick it off and start salivating and you pop in the tablet.  It used to work with my cats. Good Luck  

I too have toothache and will try the cloves and brandy remedy tonight.  I telephoned the dentist on the 7th January for an appointment and I have to wait until 12th February! If it gets worse I shall look elsewhere but I have such a wonderful dentist, perhaps thats the reason she's so popular.

My husband and I both sent off our application forms for the new CV's in October, posted the same day.  Mine arrived about 6 weeks later.  My husband waited for another 2 weeks and then went to the CPAM office in Carhaix (29).  They could find no trace of his application and he has to apply again.  The lady there showed us a folder full of papers relating to CV's not arriving.  She said she had noticed a problem with a spouse receiving one but not the other.  I would go back to the CPAM if I were you.

Apparently there is a rule that if you receive a pension in your country of residence then your are not entitled to an  E121.  This doesn't affect British retiring to another county on an E121.  Sorry if I worried anyone.  I just wondered if French women who retire early can claim on their husbands affiliation to the CMU. Gillian    

Does anyone have any knowledge of this situation? Can an English woman married to a French pensioner get affliated to the CMU as his dependant? My French husband has just started receiving a very small French pension, because he did his military service here, and has been refused an E121 by Newcastle even though he spent most of his working life in England.  If he had an E121 I would have been included in it I believe. Things are getting very complicated. Any advice would be appreciated.
