Is he elligable to receive a state-pension from the UK, while living in the USA? Is he elligable for a pension credit or might he be elligable for any other financial resources beyond his work-pension? We are needing help in the home to care for him. Do we have to move back to England to obtain any other financial help? If we are unable to get help we are looking at moving to be near his family and to access National Health Care. Also, as his wife; how do I obtain duel citizenship with the UK and still maintain my US citizenship because all my family is here other than my husband.
