Thanks everyone for your comments and advice. My 'slip on the key board' we are indeed with CMU. I'm not bothered whether we are, in, affiliated to, or a member of , I just want to make sure we stay there! Look forward to the letter being prepared by FHI which I will send off straight away as I don't trust them to automatically re-assess everyone and think the 'belt and braces' approach is much safer. Happy New Year to everyone.

Having lived here nearly seven years and been members of CPAM for all of that time - intially thru an E106 and by paying contributions when it expired - my husband and I would seem to fall into the lucky group who will be allowed to stay in. Does anyone know what we are supposed to do? Do we need to reapply or appeal the 'chucking out' letter or will we all simply be re-instated? One would assume that CPAM's records will show who is entitled to continuing cover, or is that too much too hope?!

Thanks Helen. I have passed that onto them.

Thanks Joshua. I thought that was the case but my friends are insistent it will not apply to them!

Am I right in thinking that the changes to healthcare entitlement affect all E.U. nationals living in France? I only ask because we have Dutch friends who would be affected but they have heard nothing from CPAM. In fact they had heard nothing at all about this and were frankly disbelieving when I mentioned it.
