some questions now that my wifey is in uk with me

[tone]

Hi Tony - surprised to hear of the hassle with the Dr's the difference is the receptionists - they all say different things I think!

When Rina arrived I put her on the Council Tax form, Electricity and water straight away - registering at the Docs was easy - showed passport and council tax statement - filled in the forms and 3 weeks later got new medical cards.

We went to Halifax - added Rina to my account - again they needed passport and council tax - when we married changed her name with bank and Dr Surgery.

Since then everything has been quite easy - she is on the house insurance documents too. The only thing not joint is the house mortgage.

She now has her free prescriptions and dental treatment so off to register with the local dentist this afternoon so she can be looked after.

I'd add her to sky but at some point I want her to do an upgrade when the next new thing comes out!

Apologies if I am picking you up wrongly. Free prescriptions? How does that work Tone? I was under the impression that those on a Spouse visa weren't entitled to free prescriptions. ( I have to exercise some caution here as the IOM is a little different but I am from the UK and spent all my life there until february last year ). I recall my ex wife, who never worked and is British, could never claim for free prescriptions in Manchester, as I was earning a reasonable income.
