Default Disabled Issues

You have to ask your DLA Office if you can transfer the Pension to another EU Country ...and IF your GP backs you for health reasons then they should say Yes !

Note - If you are going on Holiday for over 4+ weeks you should tell them too !

And for any disabled visitors i can recommend Chris at C@ A in Polis who is the local disabled wheelchair warrior who was helped get he 'board Walk from Polis to Latchi built + wheelchair access to shops.. his Family do Airport Pick ups with wheelchairs etc !

Normally if you are claiming disability benefits and move to another EU country then you can continue to receive this. Check on the DWP main web site, just google Department of Work and Pensions
