We actually have the DWP number to phone to confirm we have it as they sent that out when they had the problem for people travelling before the cards arrived. |

Those days are long gone now we have the 'benefit' of technology. They still keep saying it will be fixed by....... And then it is not. |

In the good old days people would call in our office and I and others would do them for people while they waited. :-) |

Possible she did benefit as I said that I was her mother and a resident here. You need photo ID is so the know you're not using someone elses card. |

My daughter was treated here, in Tenerife, when she was bitten by something that she had a bad reaction to. She had a EHIC card but had forgotten to bring it with her!! She was given an injection and a prescription on production of her passport |

The EHIC is free. To get one, just fill out an application on the EHIC website or by calling the******* NHS on 0300 330 1350. Once you've got a card, it's valid for the next 5 years. |

N.B. EHIC only covers emergencies it is not a substitute for full travel health insurance. If you have pre existing chronic conditions that may be very important. Moreover minor injuries can easily cost a lot of money which EHIC will not cover. |

Possibly IPG those who have not re-applied have not needed one as they were not going anywhere. I have to admit that, despite me asking my OH if our were in date when we travelled last, and he said 'yes I am sure they are', they were not. Luckily we did not need them. And before you say it, yes, I am kicking myself as I carried mine without checking the expiry date. |

To be honest Ann I didn't know what EHIC but I did google it. Useful if I decide to travel in Europe again. |
