 I worked and contributed in Spain for a few years and so I get a small pension....or I did.  The pension has now been held up and I asked my accountant to check why. They said they need a document to prove that I am still alive and still not married (or married -whichever??).

   Does anyone know what this document is or where I can get it? I rang the 'International Pensions Centre' and they said its something called a 'Life Certificate' which has to be notorised to prove that it's definately me and that I am still alive. The Social Security say they do not supply this document.  Can anyone help with any info on this please.

 Thanks for your reply....

                         I had an email from the broker today saying that she hoped that by next week it will be sorted out .  I told her the other day that I would contact the Ombudsman if nothing happened soon.  I never thought of the 'libro de reclamaciones'. If nothing happens by next week that's what I will do.  The paperwork that I have had to complete is unbelievable ...and its all been done weeks ago . Thanks again.
