Hi,
I hope someone can help me with some information.
My non-EEA partner joined me (EEA national) in the UK with an EEA family permit (which lasts for 6 months). After one month together in the UK as married couple, she (non-EEA partner) received medical treatment from the NHS as a result of her pregnancy.
NHS is now saying she has to pay for those services since she is not entitled to free medical care as a visitor to the UK.
My understanding is that she should be entitled to free NHS services as a married partner of an EEA national. The 6 month duration of the family permit is to allow her enter the UK and take up a permanent residence so she cannot be clasified as a visitor.
My question is, is my partner entitled to free NHS services, and if she is, how can I support this position?
Thank you in advance.
