its not a benefit, you've paid for it, before they changed the rules you had to notch up 49 years for a man and 44 for a woman of paying NI contribs. now its only 30yrs.
why should Brits in certain countries get the increase and those who lived in other countries not get it ?, we're lucky the phils is one of them
Arthur here's something else wrong with the EU, i'm not really a supporter of UKIP or any party, but they look like they are the only ones who are prepared to make the changes ...
14 Repealing the EU’s Directives on the NHS
14.1 On leaving the EU, UKIP will also immediately repeal any legislation connected with the EU Working Time Directive (Council Directive 93/104/EC). The NHS has wasted millions of pounds implementing the directive. In 2009, the President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, John Black, said that "the vast majority of doctors think EWTD is dangerous." He went on to say that “people are going to die because of this.” This is because it forces multiple and unnecessary doctor handovers and reduces
the time for doctor training.
14.2 UKIP will also immediately repeal EU Directive 2005/36 which allows any
medically qualified EU national to practise medicine in the UK. Under this Directive, the British General Medical Council has no powers to check that an EU doctor has the required English language skills and professional competence. The responsibility lies entirely with the employer and in the case of Dr Ubani, this showed up serious failings in the system.
14.3 Dr Ubani failed in his first attempt to win the right to work in the UK but succeeded with a Trust that had lower standards for professional competence and English language skills. Once granted permission, he was able to secure employment with Cambridgeshire PCT. In his first shift in 2008, Dr Ubani killed David Gray with a tenfold overdose of a painkiller and a woman had to be rushed to hospital thanks to his inappropriate treatment.
