Okay, thanks! No that is completely wrong. If under 65 age in fact has nothing to do with it, it depends entirely on your NI record over the previous 3 tax years. When everybody is saying the same thing it's usually time to ask if they know what they are saying.    Report

I am so tired of explaining this 'old chestnut'!! There is nothing new in this. These requirements  were always there pre 2002, and have been re-established post 2007. It was a temporary blip which let them drop. Thankfully it has been put right, but what is annoying is to see the thin minority (often victims of TV programmes) who would never have come to France before, and are ill at ease now, talk out of the top of their head about things they don't undersatnd, and probably never will, given their ignorance of French    Report

The comment that he takes exception to was made by a long standing member of this forum who certainly could not have been described as ill at ease, and who had a very good understanding of the situation and a good command of French. Still, Norman wouldn't have known this because he hadn't even joined the forum at that time.....   Waddya mean it's only Saturday......    Report

What is interesting is the point which is being made is much what we were saying, in that the rules post November '07 differ from those in  place in  the past which Norman cites, in that it is illegal to live here as an early retired person without comprehensive insurance, which it is impossible to get if you have even the most minor (but chronic) health problem which prevents this.  Thus it is now illegal for a  person who is ill to retire early to France.  This is what I took exception to (discrimination on the grounds of  health) as regards the new (and by that I mean 11/07, not those which existed nearly a decade ago) rules.  Nice to see that the EU has finally realised what this government is doing in the name of free movement within  the European Union.
