I (EU citizen) and my retired mother (non-EU, 68 years old) moved to UK just over a month ago, with the intention to settle permanently. We applied for EEA2 for her, and got COA with right to work.
I have a permanent (open ended) full time job, and I pay National Insurance tax. So I guess I am entitled to use NHS services. What about my mother?
Apparently there is some discussion going on in the parliament about making over-seas visitors paying for the health care..
There is this link:
http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/h ... abroad.htm
which says:
"You can get free NHS hospital treatment if you are lawfully entitled to be in the UK and usually live here. This is called being ordinarily resident."
Is it my mom's case?
Or is it that she has to stay here for 12 months first? Or?
Also, I understand that we have to register with GP, but what if they refuse my mom for having non-EU passport? Is there a standard place to complain, or to threaten them to complain if they refuse? (we are waiting for proof of address to go and try to register her)
