  DETAILED GUIDANCE ON IMMIGRATION LAW, SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS & EU LAW Anyone working in this complex, controversial and ever-changing area of law will have to buy this new and fully updated edition to be sure of accessing reliable information. This established handbook is unique in bridging the gap between benefits and immigration advice. It introduces advisers to immigration law and welfare benefits, explains how both benefit and immigration law affect social security entitlement, and describes EC law as it relates to benefits. The new revised edition covers the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, which is implemented in full during 2000. The Acts' provisions include the withdrawal of benefit from asylum seekers and also a fundamental change to the legal basis of entitlement for other people from abroad. There is also coverage of all other changes to law and practice affecting people from abroad introduced since the last edition (1997). There is information about the new support and dispersal scheme for asylum-seekers, and rights to benefits under transitional rules. There is also advice for British and EU/EEA (European Economic Area) nationals moving within the EEA, and information about the rights of family members of EU/EEA nationals. Fully indexed and cross-referenced to UK and European legislation, the handbook is for all advisers whose clients include: immigrants to the UK, members of minority ethnic groups and EU/EEA citizens in the UK, and UK citizens moving to or living in other EU/EEA countries. It is used by Citizens Advice Bureaux, solicitors, local authority advisers, minority ethnic and immigration organisations and welfare rights agencies.
