I am asking this on behalf of my mum as I am a bit confused if I have this right? As far as I was aware as long as we had an EHIC card we would be covered for emergencies while we had no ID card, is this correct?
My mum has came back today with an ID card and she has no job, does this mean she has absolutely no health cover now? She has no private cover and the plan had always been to transfer her health entitlement from the UK, which as I understood is valid until she gets a job. Now that she has an ID card I take it she can no longer transfer he health cover entitlement either?
I have refrained from getting an ID card as I always took this to mean I would lose my health entitlement cover from the UK I have at the moment, if this isn't the case, then I would get one asap as I would get cheaper bus fares which would certainly help a student along :0)
If someone could please set me straight on this issue I would be grateful.
Thanks
