My husband retires in 2 years time and will get state pension

I am younger so do not qualify for pension yet - being 55

We like to retire to Spain when he retires then he will take his UK pension with him but what about health care?

I have  a long term helath problem which I have to attend hospital regularly for - once my hsuband is retired will I get health care as in UK or is it payable for or free?  as I will be a long way off pension not sure if he will get a single rate pension or one for me too as I am disabled

so therefore am I entitled to free or low price health care based on my husband receiving state UK pension?

Hi,

If you are registered either on incapacity benefit or disability benefit in Uk you will continue to be paid by the UK and if you get a form E121 from your pension office in UK just tell them you are moving abroad . you will then be able to get a spanish health card which you will then cover you for treatment here.  However you do need to become a resident first.
