If you are in receipt of a UK State Pension or a long term incapacity benefit and you decide to move to Spain permanently, ask for your S1 (previously E121) from the International Pension Centre (IPC) in Newcastle.
Once registered with the Spanish authorities, the S1 gives you and your dependants the same medical cover in Spain as a Spanish national under the Spanish state-run health scheme. This cover may not be the same as you received on the NHS in the UK so you may have to pay for some treatments or services. Remember that:
- treatment given privately and repatriation costs to the UK are not covered. Think about whether you want to take out private health insurance.
- some social services may not be available.
For further details don't hesitate to contact to us.
