Can dependent parents of EU citizen who is full time employed in host member state can claim benefit (non-contributory pension credit)?
Is there any restriction for dependent family members in claiming benefit? Or can it be an issue while applying for PR?
@spat, it depends on the host member state policies. In general the dependent parents can't claim benefit as long their status is not permanent (PR) or known as ILR in the UK

. If they holds a current PR of the EU

member state, yes they may be eligible.
You need find and call/email or visit the member states department (I recall you wrote you are in Ireland

) who deals with these queries (I guess in UK
![🇬🇧](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f1ec-1f1e7.svg)
it's the jobcentre plus but I may be entirely wrong).
Will it be an issue when applying for PR - are you asking about the PR in the host member state or in the UK? Either way I don't know the answer but surely someone else will.
