Will the access of UK nationals who are pensioners in the British social
security system and are resident in Spain be affected following Brexit?
With a Withdrawal Agreement
Your right to healthcare will not be affected: the
Community Regulations will continue to apply.
Without a Withdrawal Agreement:
Pensioners in the British National Health Service
(NHS) will continue to receive healthcare in Spain provided that the competent
British authorities grant reciprocal treatment to Spanish citizens.
Spanish health cards issued to you will continue to be in force and fully valid
for receiving healthcare from the Spanish National Health System services.
If a British National Health Service (NHS) pensioner resident in Spain does not
have a health card, he or she must present documentary evidence to the Spanish
National Social Security Institute (INSS) proving his or her right to
healthcare from the British system.
