It explains, in an accessible way: * who can satisfy the right to reside requirement * how immigration status affects entitlement to benefits, tax credits and council tax reduction * difficulties that migrants may encounter with their claims and getting paid, and how to deal with problems such as delays and providing evidence * how the European rules co-ordinating social security can be of assistance * financial and other support available for asylum seekers Fully detailed indexed and cross-referenced to UK and European legislation and caselaw, it is the essential guide for EEA and non-EEA nationals, asylum seekers and refugees, families with different immigration statuses, British citizens returning from abroad, and all migrants who need to navigate the complexity of the immigration and benefit rules.
