UK pension,etc

11 years ago
Hallo!
I have a list of questions that need answering, some expats may know the answers or where to go for answers.
We want to move to Austria, mainly as the climate (both weatherwise and culturally) is more suited to our health and fitness needs.
It's probably best just to list the questions:
I get UK retirement pension next year, but have been retired off early so do not work. I hope the pension will be paid will be OK ( we presumably have to guess what happens when UK drops out of EU).
But my wife has a disability - her disability allowance and incapacity (or whatever they call it now) should be paid, I think.
What about medical expenses? as she is unable to work is medical care free?
What about prescription charges (she also has diabetes)?
When one reaches retirement age is medical care free for everyone?
What about care for the elderly unable to live at home ? (We intend to stay there).

I will be grateful for any help,
Thanks
