>Whilst living in a warm country I simply don't suffer this angina, hence I don't require any medical help for it.

If that is the case then trying to PEP payments would be fraud.

Don't be melodramatic. If he provides all the salient facts, the authorities will weigh his eligibility and nothing dishonest will have occurred. (Particularly since they seem to have knocked back his claim already.)

The OP could always go and live in Martinique. Sits nicely in the Caribbean and its part of Europe. Never gets below about 22degC

Unfortunately with Prinzmetal angina breathing in cold air causes heart attacks and strokes, in my case I have had both in temperatures up to +13c. Nowhere in the EU is warm enough 365 days a year, only a tropical climate is 100% guaranteed not to get that low not subtropical. I need the country to be safe, affordable and I have to have the right to live in the country, if a medical is required I won't pass. The hospitals have to be good enough and affordable as with my history 35 insurance companies have declined to insure me. PIP is claimable in the EU, not that ATOS or the Department of Works and Pensions tell one that. There are also a few countries with reciprocal agreements, but none meet my above criteria. Perhaps India is a contender, but I would not get PIP there. The Philippines is one country with a reciprocal agreement, but I have a good friend who lived there and left because it was no longer a safe place to live and being disabled I not only can't defend myself, indeed I am a target.

Teneriffe : temperatures range on average from 22°c to 28° c

The winter average minimum is 16°C. But averages should be treated with great caution, anyway. The average in Russian roulette is also harmless to health, but...

Geem's suggestion of the French Antilles would cut it for temperature. As suggest they're departments of France, although as 'Distant Territories' (or whatever the official expression is), they have a modified status within the EU. There (or the Dutch Antilles) could be worth further research on the OP's part.

(Thanks for the "°", Sybarite. I normally can't be faffed to look for them.)
