    In a previous thread the OP refered to a sibling who lived in Belgium and required hospital treatment., which is not free in Belgium. 
    perhaps he is getting a pension from there - he is getting £1400 / month

    He was born here but lived all his life abroad.


    And which rights would he have please?
    Thank you!




    Before we go any further we need to confirm... is he a British Citizen? I assume he is.. but it'd be a disaster if advice is followed and he doesn't even have a right to enter the UK.

    Prior to 1 January 1983, just being born in the UK gave that child British Citizenship, even if a foreign mother came to the UK as a visitor to have their child in the UK. It was a well trodden path, resulting in this ending from 1 January 1983.

    The OP said her brother is age 71 and was born in Britain, therefore he was born a British Citizen.
