Does anyone know why DLA,AA is not being paid to expats in Spain,but in France,yes.
Why do the English make claiming anything so dam difficult??

Perhaps Spain is making life difficult for the British? Perhaps they don't want to encourage even more expats to Spain?From Poland...with love.
They are (they're) sitting on the floor.
Their books are lying on the floor.

It's not that the English DWP make things difficult, it's more that some claimants of DLA etc decide they've had enough of the UK & go to live abroad, but they want to keep claiming our UK benefits.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
The care part of DLA can be exported, you contact a department in Newcasle and they suspend your benefit for a few months then they start paying the care componant only.

Which is clearly complete nonsense. It screams of 'having ones cake and wanting to eat it too' - particularly as presumably, the UK DWP would be unable to conduct spot checks on someone resident abroad?
Why do people keep using 'English' to refer to British (ie, UK wide) institutions?From Poland...with love.

Because some people like to blame we English for every darned thing while absolving the Scots, Welsh and Irish from all blame.
Because some people don't know that there is a difference.
There may be other reasons, but you toss your own coin.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

arthritus is many a reason for needing warmer weather. The european court ruled that ex pats should get it. Some were honest and cancelled their DLA when they left.Only to find now they should get it now and finding it very hard.It's not that the English DWP make things difficult, it's more that some claimants of DLA etc decide they've had enough of the UK & go to live abroad, but they want to keep claiming our UK benefits.0
