35. Getting Maternity Allowance or short-term Incapacity Benefit when you are living in another EEA country
If you are getting Maternity Allowance or short-term Incapacity Benefit from the UK and you go to live in another EEA country, you may get healthcare cover from the UK for yourself and for any members of your family who depend on you and who go with you. Any medical treatment you need will be given by the health services in the country where you live. You will be covered for as long as you can get Maternity Allowance or short-term Incapacity Benefit. But if you are in the UK, you must first get the Jobcentre Plus/social security office to agree that you can carry on getting your benefit in the other country.
