Hello, My uncle is on Disability Allowance for the last 2 years. He was recently told he should apply for the Invalidity Pension.
I rang and he has plenty of stamps and over 30 years of working, so they said there would be no problem getting it.
The reason for the change is he gets much better health in warmer climates, so he is thinking of moving full time to Spain where he has relatives already that can mind him.....and the invalidity pension allows you to live out of the country.
In reading about it, I saw there could be tax ramifications....is anyone familiar with what that would mean? He has no money in the bank, a plot of land worth less than 20,000 that is unused, an old 1997 car....really nothing at all.
Would it be wise for him to change from the disability allowance to the invalidity pension? Don't want to advise him wrongly since he asked me to check it for him.
Thank you very much.
