    Anyway, I tend to think that these sort of threads are not just for the OP but for others who may have the same questions/concern

    Yes I work thanks but what has that got to do with you milking the system?
  • You will lose Carer's Allowance when you claim SRP as they are overlapping benefits. you can choose which one you want. Obviously the higher paying which presumably will be the pension.

    Just out of interest do you have to return to the UK if a new assessment needs to be made for PIP or DLA?

    I read a bit of banter

    Still comes back to being helpful (OP or those who read the threads) rather than scoring points off each other

    But, sadly, that's what this forum is becoming..

    I don't tend to banter about Bulgaria.;)

    I thought it sensible to find out if the OP lived abroad before offering advice, sorry if you think differently.:D

    You certainly don't for AA, they take the local doctor's report. You can even make an initial application when living abroad in another E U country.

    (Mind you, that could all change after Brexit.)

    How can someone, not in the know, find out whether or not you are bantering.:D:D

    And tell me how you know, for sure, that the OP lives in Bulgaria? And even if they do, hopefully, the information here might help someone else

    But, it would seem, scoring points is more important....:cool::cool:
  • Milking the system please explain if you string more than 7 words together

    How can someone paying into the UK system for 40 years and currently paying my stamp and income
    Tax be milking it???

    Perhaps it's better to ignore uneducated people's comments as its so hard to try to sink to there level
    And even harder trying to educate idiots
