I was just wondering whether I should I start moaning ?
I have paid all my dues over my working life (just like you in UK and maybe those who just live there now and have not paid but still qualify) and then I decided to escape to live in Spain,might have been RP etc.
As such I get my old age pension and that's it, no heating allowance, housing benefit, travel card, disability, age, home help, discounted community tax, etc. etc. Nothing.
I am feeling really sorry for all you guys who (have been in receipt for maybe years,but now might loose some benefits.
