am totally thick here, have tried to get the dunes de cope message/news but haven't yet worked out how.

so far all i have got is past conversation - yelloe white - but things that interested me wont allow me to click on to reply or ask that person a question.

also am trying to find out when the annual meeting for agm is in 2008. if nothing else can someone tell me - when where etc.

as you can see i am not just having a bad hair day but a bad pc day

parents are nearing retirement age but dad draws pension now and dad gets industrial benefit due to a major accident with machinary at work.

not sure if this would stop if they moved out to spain completely, to be honest what was on the news about benefit changes wasn't much help -as usual just mp's trying to claim who's idea it was etc rather than really saying what the changes would be and how they would affect people.

mum and dad do want to move out 100% and have bought in cash no mortgage etc but dad wouldn't (as he gets older) be able to travel back and for re industrial benefit if they wont pay it if he leaves uk.

as you can tell he doesn't, as no body would right now, want to speak to dwp incase they themselves get it wrong, and talking means giving out info which he thinks may do more harm if they close him down in error.  Dad had serious accident so its not like he's claiming for toothache ok - just in case anyone thinks he's going to be moving to Spain and taking up referreering a footie match)

hi,

parents bought apt 2007, opinions and advice wanted on : 

1/. anyone selling up in uk  - kissing goodbye to living in UK for good.

2/. anyone on any benefits in the UK eg Incapacity/sickness/industrial injury benefit - if so  - can you still claim these ?  

Hopefully someone using  'dunas de cope' can respond, any thoughts/info/advice/opinions welcome.

Parents want  to sell up in UK,: cost of staying in UK too much for them,  city life is lonely & cold for retirement age, UK neighbours aren't friendly , UK children rude, need I /theysay more.  So I am trying to help and get feedback on this for them.

So...... is anyone about to sell up in the UK and move over perm for a better life?


Sally
