Sorry, I thought it was obvious ...........
"but they will (of course) charge a fee."
Unlike the winter fuel payment, not every financial transaction is free, you surely cannot expect to pay a euro cheque into a sterling account and not have to pay for it's clearing and conversion.
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding .........

I don't understand why they sent a € cheque. Normally she should have received a Sterling cheque. You could try and get it reversed but it would probably be better to live with the financial charge and get the cash.
When we first moved here we processed all our medical bills through CPAM under the E111 agreement. Eventually they sent us sterling cheques in our childrens names. By the time we convinced a UK bank to take them and pay them into our accounts, the cheques were refused by CPAM for being out of date. I think in the end we just gave up - which I guess was their aim from the start.

I spent 5 days in hospital (St Jean) in January, en urgences.
Although ill, I still had to do a small trek outside to the finance office before admission, to sort out my Carte Vitale and Complémentaire details - both of which I had with me. After some sorting out of some inexplicable irregularities, I was admitted with my sheet of 'etiquettes' - bar-code stickers to put on my dossier.
I was surprised yesterday to receive an account for €80 for my daily costs - I thought this would have been automatically taken on by my complémentaire. I think I must pay it, then claim back from insurance.
I'm not asking a question really, just for information. It could happen to you.

Sorry! I didn't mean to turn the knife!
I just spoke to Elaine - it is euros, but then she will gain from the exchange rate, so it is not all bad news!
I did read somewhere that the procedure was for them to transfer the money to your UK bank account, which is why I had to send them all the details. Still, we did get there in the end.
M. Beisser is obviously the right chap to contact.

Roger, I have not lived in Germany or Switzerland (worse luck - beautiful mountains). Are they really efficient, or is it another myth, like Italians being good lovers?
I lived in Brussels for a year, but thankfully I was smashed most of the time - lots of champagne and clubbing - because I found the countryside and architecture very dull. And the two Flemish men I went out with were very, very mean - they weren't the ones plying me with champagne. However, I hasten to add that I am sure I just was unlucky and most Flemish men are sparkling company and very generous.

Come to think of it, I did meet some very nice Italian men when I lived in Monaco..........and English.............and American................and French...........and Turkish..............and Dutch..........and South African.
Ah, those were the days, my friends. It makes me feel quite tired just remembering it - how on earth did I go out dancing till 4 am. nearly every night of the week and still get to work for 9 a.m. and manage to keep my old millionaire employer happy? I wasn't even in the first flush of youth - I was 39 when I went out there.
