We have received our entitlement certificates, using our S1s issued from UK. Next year we will have to re-apply from UK for new S1s and resubmit.
In the accompanying letter to our certificates there are 2 things stated which are fundamentally wrong, at least from my research.
1. That our certificates are valid for 3 years.
We know that they are not and are dated to indicate that.
2. That according to EU Regs, holders of Certificate of Entitlement are to apply for EHIC from the State issuing their pension or of the pensioner on whom they are dependent.
According to EU site AND the Dept of Entitlement's own website it is they, the Entitlement Unit's responsibility to issue EHICs to us.
Can anyone clarify #2 please?
Thank you
