Claiming Benefits - Self Sufficient - EEA2

Post by newJoiner » Thu Feb 11, 2010 11:50 am

Hi all,

i am an Austrian citizen (EEA). Have just moved to the UK with my husband and expecting a baby any day now.
My husband is non-EU and will have to apply for EEA2 in the coming months. He is working here, I will go for self-sufficient. We obviously have enough funds + private health insurance to support this.
My question is: Can I apply for child benefits/ health in pregnancy grant? Will that affect my future EEA2 application? On paper seems like I'm entitled to... But I wouldn't want to risk our right to remain

Thanks!
