I have spend a few years in another EU country .I am now returning to the UK. How many months do I have to live here to satisfy the residency test before I can apply for benefits such as income support .
I know I need to wait three months before applying for child benefit but need to know about other benefits please
Kindly advice
Perhaps ask about this on your other thread on the EEA board, in case it is missed on this board?JB007 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 12:19 pmLooking back on your posts, I see you are intending to use the Surinder Singh route to bring a spouse to the UK. I have read on here that the British citizen will have to be an EU qualifed person when they use this route to the UK and therefore you cannot have means tested benefits for your family because you don't work? Others will advise.
Whether Singh will work for your husband is matter for your other thread, if you can use Singh. As is, what is required of the British citizen when you return, for Singh to be valid.
