Thing is, we are not expats per se. I was born and bred in Switzerland, but moved to UK aged 19 and stayed 40 years. I have dual nationality- and for the past 5 years, so has OH, the other way round. But I am not entitled to any pension here because I never worked here- I left as soon as I finished my studies.
All our pension/income is from UK in £. We are VERY very lucky we could take the 50% hit in income by tightening belt- but if it goes down further due to falling exchange rate + losing healthcare- this would be a different story. I am not asking for any sympathy whatsoever - just saying as it is.
Imagine anyone facing this at a time when a severe illness is diagnosed and very expensive treatment due to start at the end of March ... as is happening to my best friend...
