If you do as BM06 says then you are no better than any other Social Security cheats and could be prosecuted for fraud if found out.  The rules are quite clear on this and you should visit the govt web site for information.

One of the disadvantages of moving to Turkey is the effect on your benefits and medical entitlements

Agreed Janet.

Only way to do it is to cheat the system.

I'm with BM06 and Heather on this one!  I would rather my taxes went to easing life for your wife no matter where you live than they go to all the immigrant scroungers living off me at the moment!!

Seriously Dont consider living here unless you have an income. You will not be entitled to Uk benefits or NHS treatment and no chance of working, Harsh but true

Sorry pete but I agree with janet.gur on this. That's just my opinion.

I do hope however that the move to Calis "helps" your wife's condition

I also hope that replies are confined to pete's straightforward question.
