How does this work in practice ? since currently the Swiss pension arrives at a YOUNGER age than the UK ?
So when the Swiss start paying you a pension (and you are obliged to sign up to Swiss insurance), for the UK you are still “working age” and cannot get this confirmation.
So what happens if you get the Swiss pension first, then another pension where you have contributed for more years?
The difference is that the person in question only has a UK pension so it’s a totally different situation.
This is the link to the Swiss Government organisation who are supposed to advise you on this topic of which health insurance you must pay when you move to the UK with pensions from different countries
The original poster will have both a Swiss & a UK pension, same with Media, so an interesting question & one worth answering
Yes, but if you are still working and living in the UK, you’d be entitled to be covered by the UK would you not?
Both will have been taken into account in the initial calculation - the calculation is to determine how to maximise your contribution of your life time, not a point in time.
Since in my case the Swiss one can be taken 4 years before the UK one, I don’t live in Switzerland or the UK… The Swiss pension will be based on my 20 years of Swiss contributions & my UK one based on 35 years of contributions. No calculation or communication between them will occur as I claim the Swiss one from CH & The UK one from the UK.
I have to have health insurance from CH & then when I get a UK pension as it’s more years the UK should be responsible for my healthcare from age 67

I keep stumbling upon AHV pension and health insurance bundle, can someone please clarify, when person is not living in EU/Switzerland and wants to receive his AHV pension it is not obligatory swiss health insurance, right? i read here
Bezügerinnen und Bezüger einer Schweizer Rente mit Wohnsitz in der EU/EFTA oder im Vereinigten Königreich (UK) sind in der Schweiz versicherungspflichtig. Liegt der Wohnsitz ausserhalb EU/EFTA/UK, sind sie nicht in der Schweiz, sondern in ihrem Wohnsitzstaat krankenversicherungspflichtig.
