Is that really true?
According to the gov website, Quote
You must also be getting a qualifying means-tested benefit from the country you live in that is equivalent to:

Pension Credit
Universal Credit
etc.


So it would seem to be means tested.

That's interesting, that was not referred to in the article I read recently on this, no mention at all. Just goes to show need to check everything these days. I'm not quite sure how the UK Government will have details of foreign benefit payments to UK pensioners who are EU residents living abroad.[/quote]



I'm quite offended that you have rearranged my post to make it look as if I made the unresearched comment which you actually made and I was correcting. Bit cheeky.
