I fully agree with that sentiment, it would easier to simply give us all permission, especially in a lockdown.

I have used the search function but cannot find an answer. If I claim my German pension at 63 then move back to the UK what happens to the pension? Do I get a German and Uk pension?

Sorry, I did say I didn't understand all this, as I get near pensionable age I'm starting to panic. Thanks Gary for your help. 

So with 9 years paying in I can't claim at 63. I move to the UK, and due to my age will get UK pension at 66, will the years I contributed to the German pension will be credited through the UK pension a year later, when I'll be 67? Or will the German part be sent from Germany?

I mean if I don't get the erlaubnis to stay, how long can I stay? With the covid lockdown, is going even possible?

What happens if I can't show proof of income?

I have 9 years, so at age 66 in England I'll get UK and German years?

Bump and what if I move back? anybody?

What a fantastic answer! As I'm not very bright I'll probably have supplementary questions.

I sold my motorcycle at the weekend, the buyer came and looked it over, offered me less than I wanted, signed kaufauftrag and took it away. He now says that there was damage that he will repair but wants a donation from me towards the costs. It was ebay kleinanzeigen and I wrote ,Das Bike wird ohne Garantie oder Rücknahme verkauft. What can he do? Should I agree to pay, if so what's to stop him finding other things that I can contribute money to? I've never noticed the damage (some cylinder head fins are scratched, tiny bit missing) I had to zoom into the photo to see what he meant. So, what now? Please help.

Although it's described as keinen unfallschaden in the kaufvertrag that I got when I bought it, and also when I sold it.

Thanks SpiderPig, that was my first response.

You should first complete a Kontoklärung to determine how many months of contributions you have made and whether or not your pension has vested.    What is vested?   Y

When you move back to UK, what happens to your German Tax no, and any details they have? Do they keep everything?

being Arbeitslos

Does time at the Arbeitsamt count? If not then the years  I contributed to The German pension should be credited to UK pension, as far as I can see.

  actually it was this bit that interested me. Money is coming from England to De, house sale and inheritance

  Is that still the case?

Hi, I am about to get inheritance from my Father, do the Germans require some proof of how much that was? Or can I transfer all my UK cash, and say it's all inheritance?

  good grief that's complicated

I really wanted to know if anyone would want to see proof of inheritance, cos I wanted to move my savings at the same time, and avert any trouble.

do the Germans require some proof of how much that was? Will I get some proof from the solicitors?
