In Norway you will only receive 66% of your income after the full year of sick pay. My husband has a chronic illness so I know this to be fact. Your pay should be much higher than his so you should be ok to live month to month frugally.

My advice would be to do everything in writing and, if NAV don't play ball, post updates here. It'll all become clear soon enough how you'll be treated. Also, please tell us if you're an EU citizen and if you were allowed onto the Folkregister. If not, why. The tax authorities have completely different criteria for deciding if you must pay taxes in Norway to those used to decide if you live in Norway for the purposes of receiving anything in return for your contributions to the Norwegian national insurance scheme. The usual routine is you are refused benefits, have to fight for years to get nothing then, just before you die, Norway feigns concern and gets someone to talk to you who sounds caring and does absolutely nothing except say, in a pained way "hmm, this shouldn't happen but it's very complicated. Have you tried contacting a doctor?" ... you get the idea ... it might be a good idea to cover yourself by sending a letter to where you are likely to be treated asking if you will be invoiced if you are treated there. Yes. Foreigners in Norway 100% paid up with their national insurance contributions get invoices for thousands of pounds which are then passed on to debt collectors who pass everything onto the police ... whilst the patient is seeing doctors in their native country ... and yes, I can prove ALL of this.
