  1. I am an English/Deutsch dual national living in Germany and am planning a short trip (4 days) to England with my wife, a German national, next week. We are both 3x covid-vaccinated and will both travel using German passports to avoid getting split up at the airport. We are flying with Lufthansa who have just sent me a confusing email, full of no longer valid links to RKI pages etc. and the following (without any links):   If you click on the link below that notice which reads "Verifizierten Schnelltest kaufen" you are sent to a page for booking a test at the airport, not for selftest-kits.   So what do we actually need to re-enter Germany after four days away? I have been told that the self-tests from the chemist are accepted. Lufthansa have been most unhelpful in answering our questions.
  2. I recieve Austrian, German and UK state pensions. My UK pension is almost a full pension as I have paid 32 years contributions, however most of those contributions were Class II voluntary contributions. I pay the usual 7,3% health insurance and 3,3% care insurance to my Krankenkasse from both my UK and Austrian pensions and it is automatically deducted from my German pension. Now someone on a UK forum has suggested that my UK pension entitles me to free health insurance from the AOK. Does anyone know anything about this?
