This i suppose depends on whether you stay listed in uk or in spain it is a very dicey area to muck around with and comes with consequences.
There are people on the forum with more knowledge than me plus if you the search facility on the forum i think the subject have been covered a few times.

Good luck with things.

There are some exceptions, not sure what they are... disability may be one of them?????

The Pensions thing is a minefield from what I can gather, but this forum does get a visit from DWPinspain occasionally who is based in the British consulate in Alicante, he seems to know his stuff, so maybe heŽll cast the vote LOL!!!!
