The Benefits for Migrants Handbook gives practical, comprehensive guidance on social security entitlement for anyone who has come to the UK or is thinking about going abroad. It remains the essential guide for claimants needing to:  

• demonstrate their right to reside;  
• check how immigration status affects access to benefits (including families with different statuses);   
• understand when the EU co-ordination rules mean benefits can be paid sooner or paid abroad for longer, or that the competent state rules apply.  

It covers the benefit rules for:  

• refugees;  
• people from specific areas of conflict; 
• British citizens returning from abroad.  

The Handbook includes step-by-step information and tactics to help you obtain the correct entitlements. It goes through practical problems such as delays and providing evidence. It is fully indexed and cross-referenced to UK and European legislation and caselaw.
