EHIC renewal

sue and paul · Post by **sue and paul** » Thu 15 Jan 2015 20:06

We have EHIC's of course, and because we are retired from UK, these are issued by UK, which is printed on the cards. They will soon need renewing. They were issued to us since we moved here, but I can't for the life of me remember whether we asked CPAM for them, or DWP in UK.
It would save me hours of hanging on the phone, if someone knows whether we get these renewed via CPAM or DWP. The DWP website is not very clear on it, regarding retirees in another EU country. Any help appreciated

It's dealt with by DWP, Sue.

Thank you. I had searched on DWP website, not NHS

It seems you can now renew via email:

Pleased to say that I just received an email from NHS Business Services, and my renewed EHIC is now in the post. Have to say the process was surprisingly easy and faster than you can say EHIC. Thanks again for the advice folks.

I was warned today that there is a "service" online which will charge you £30 for this. Don't pay...it's free
