Been a couple of years since last here. My hubby is from Scotland has a house and also has a friend who is prepared to offer a job when we are ready to return. We were going to return a couple of years ago but decided to stick it out in Australia. Here in Oz I get a partial disability pension basically only covers medications on health card due to our incomes as I work part time. I hope to get part time work when we go to Scotland if not I can work from home in photo restoration work. But what concerns us is I have a genetic condition that limits me with working full time - will this go against us in our visa application that Im not of full health - how will this play with getting our visa for me. I have had conflicting info told NHS will cover me as in the visa there is a built in amount to cover the NHS ... to there is a reciprocal arrangement with Australia and as I have medicare here I would be covered there. I need to see a dr at least once a month for medications (bp, pain meds and thyroid), out here I see physio to help with dislocations approx once a month, I know i will have to pay for physio as i do here. My question does anyone know where i can get some accurate info from ? I have a friend whos a dr in UK but psychology is his field and he said it should, he works at a hospital and says as far as he knows I would be covered but we need to know more... someone said I would need to take out private health insurance as well as the visa extra amount .... but Im unsure on levels over there. I just need somewhere to start as there are so many different web pages and all say different conflicting things ahhhhhhhh My hubbys gran died late last year and hes even more homesick than before so we would really like to go back to where his home and family are. My family are no where near by here so it will be nice to have close family to lean on when needed etc and to support his mum too so she has her son back on the same side of the world. Thanks for advice n help its all greatly appreciated
