Student - Comprehensive Sickness Cover
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2017 11:27 am
Hi,
I am a EU/EEA national (Poland), and have been here for the past 10 years (arrived in England at the age of 14, went to secondary school, college, university and I am now in full-time employment).
Whilst I was a university student, I have not had any private insurance, as I was unaware of the law that I needed one. I had a NIN and a European Health Insurance Card, however the card was issued in the UK, which apparently disqualifies it.
Can someone give me any help/tips/advice. Do I have to wait a couple more years before I can apply for it, or does the fact that I arrived here being dependent on my Dad who was in full-time employment counts?
Thanks
