Rejected petition EHIC to be valid for all UK nationals visiting the EU post 1January 2021

In the Guidance for UK nationals visiting the EU post Brexit which can be found at www.gov.uk, of UK nationals, only those receiving a UK State Pension and living in the EU before the end of 2020 can apply for EHIC. This is the most appalling discrimination against UK nationals.

More details

The Government in its negotiations with the EU is to ensure that all UK nationals visiting or living in the EU can apply for and be covered by EHIC
