Thats true, this is why i'm saying that if I were to lose my benefits anyway, i'm no longer confined to having to go to an EU country. India is dirt cheap to live and most speak English, but it's their healthcare system that might put me off.

ESA is also based on contributions, but there doesn't appear to be any special concession for the sick/disabled to permanently claim it abroad (if we leave without a deal). It's important that I continue to receive this as it awards NI credits for my state pension (I don't pay NI contributions via the income from my job.)
