Catalpa Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It appears that the UK has decided when it will stop issuing S1 (E106-variety) to early retirees in France (and other EU countries) - 1 July, 2014.From the parliament.uk website... HEREExcerpt from the document: (formatting may be odd)Residual S1 forms are currently issued to early retirees moving to another EEA country and not taking up employment, providing a temporary period of healthcare cover for maximum period of 30 months, dependent upon the individual’s recent national insurance contribution record in the UK. Applications for residual S1 forms will no longer be accepted after 1 July 2014. This change does not affect current holders of residual S1s or the right of UK state pensioners to access healthcare when they retire to another EEA countryThese payments are not required under EU law, so the UK is currently going over and above its European obligations. These proposals were outlined in the consultation in July 2013 on migrant access to the NHS and then in the subsequent government response, published in December 2013.
