Who We Are

A Friendly, Personal Service Built Around You

Hi, I'm Reginald Barry. I created this service because I kept seeing the same thing — British nationals living their best lives abroad, completely unaware of the UK benefits they were still entitled to.

Navigating DWP processes from overseas is confusing and frustrating. I wanted to change that. My job is simple: listen to your situation, tell you honestly what you may be owed, and guide you through the process from start to finish — at no cost to get started.

Nobody should miss out on money they've rightfully earned just because they live in a different country.

What We Do

Benefits Support Tailored to Your Situation

Whether you need help understanding your options, submitting a claim, or navigating the DWP from overseas — we handle it with you, every step of the way.

01

State Pension Maximisation

Living abroad doesn't mean your pension has to be frozen. If you're in an EEA country, Switzerland, or a reciprocal agreement country, your pension may rise in line with UK rates. We'll find out where you stand and help secure every penny.

02

Attendance Allowance

If you or a loved one needs help with personal care due to illness or disability, Attendance Allowance may still be available while living abroad. Many expats don't realise they still qualify — we'll assess your eligibility and handle everything.

03

Carer's Allowance

If you care for someone for 35+ hours a week and they receive a qualifying benefit, you may be entitled to Carer's Allowance from the UK — even from abroad. Most carers don't know this. We make the whole process simple.

04

PIP & Disability Benefits

Personal Independence Payment can be complex at the best of times — let alone from overseas. We help expats understand the exportability rules, gather the right evidence, and submit strong, well-prepared claims.

You May Be Entitled If You…

Many UK expats assume their benefits stop when they move abroad. In most cases, that simply isn't true — and a quick check costs nothing.

✓

Are Aged 65 or Over

Age is the primary gateway to Attendance Allowance. If you're over 65 and need help with daily tasks, you may qualify — wherever you live.

✓

Lived & Worked in the UK

If you've paid National Insurance contributions, you have a genuine link to the UK system and may be entitled to claim regardless of where you now live.

✓

Have a Health Condition or Need Daily Help

Attendance Allowance, PIP, and related benefits can be exported to many countries — especially across Europe. Your condition doesn't need to have been diagnosed in the UK.

✓

Care for Someone 35+ Hours a Week

If you care for a spouse, parent, or another person who receives a qualifying benefit, you may be entitled to Carer's Allowance — even as an expat.

FAQ

Common Questions, Honest Answers

Everything you might be wondering, answered plainly. If you have a question that isn't here, just ask us — we're always happy to help.

Reginald Barry
Can I really claim UK benefits while living abroad?+
Yes — many UK benefits can be exported to other countries, particularly within the EEA, Switzerland, and countries with social security agreements with the UK. This includes the State Pension, Attendance Allowance, Carer's Allowance, and more, depending on your circumstances.
Does Brexit affect my eligibility?+
Brexit changed some rules, but many entitlements remain accessible — particularly for those who moved to EU countries before 31 December 2020 and those with an established link to the UK social security system. We'll give you an accurate picture based on your specific situation.
Is the initial guidance genuinely free?+
Absolutely. Your consultation and eligibility check are completely free with no obligation whatsoever. We'll always be upfront and transparent about any costs before proceeding with a formal application on your behalf.
How long does a claim typically take?+
Timelines vary by benefit and individual circumstances. Attendance Allowance typically takes 8–12 weeks from submission. We keep you informed throughout the entire process and follow up with the DWP on your behalf.
Which countries do you support clients in?+
We support British nationals across Europe — including Spain, France, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, Italy, and many others — as well as clients further afield. Wherever you are, get in touch and we'll advise on your options.
I've never claimed before. Is it too late to start?+
It's rarely too late. Some benefits can even be backdated. The most important first step is simply finding out where you stand — and that starts with a free, no-obligation conversation with our friendly team.

Don't Leave Your Entitlements

A two-minute check could be the start of hundreds of pounds landing in your account every month. It costs nothing, there's no pressure, and it starts right now.
