Hi guys
Being partner of an EU national and Eu national exercising treaty right through non EU partner's work in the UK and both have CSI
But by exercising treaty right in this way makes the EU national a self sufficient person where it is been specified they should not be burden on public funds by UKBA . And what if they receive some public benefit like disability living allowance and council housing accommodation during qualifying period. And they think they have rights based on the information: Public funds that can be claimed due to exceptions, exceptions because of a person’s nationality,Agreements between UK, the European Union and other countries that available in the UKBA;

self sufficiency on public funds cannot be claimed although EU national workers/self employed can claim public funds.
Please donot send PM. Write in open forum to facilitate others too.

Then, are you sure that you are in correct forum as anything relates to your ("on EU national) activities are irrelevant to EEA route application.

What I am saying here is the circle that turns the rights around that is residence card gives right to those nationals to stay legal and right to work in the uk and because of their countries agreement with UK and EU gives them the right to claim those funds as indicated in the link if those national have received such public under exceptions they wont be effected in case they apply for residence permit
Because EU national relies on Non-EU nationals partner income "partner" who is from this specific countries that have such agreement with UK and EU.

EEA nationals who are residing in the UK should generally be able to support themselves without help from public funds. EEA nationals
who are exercising Treaty rights in the UK as workers, self employed persons or work seekers are able to claim public funds without their right

of residence being affected.

Housing and Homelessness assistance has to do with things like, homeless support and advice, provision of temporary homeless accommodation such as hostels or other temp accommodation etc which are publicly funded, and most often the government funds these homelessness services via something called Supporting People Fund

Hi sublime688
Thanks for the answer I am just trying to find out if a council flat that provided by council in that context count as Housing and Homelessness assistance or social housing.Because we have been given a council flat as my EU national was self sufficient

Doesn't the last sentence contradict itself? Surely you have been offered a council flat as you
can't maintain yourself based on your current circumstances.

Jumbo
The question is weather council Flat/House is a social house or not based on this, even HO is indicating especially in the immigration case instruction it should not be confused, I think your opinion here as above is irrelevant.
I'd like to repeat the question, is council flat/house is a social housing?

Well the reason was Eu was sick for period of time and when the application made to local authority all income(none EU was working and EU spouse was relaying on this income, that is the self suf.) was informed and application was approved and after not for long we were placed in council flat.

The question boils down to whether or not the person poses an unreasonable burden on the UK's resources or not.
It is unlikely living in a social housing will.
Social Housing is not means-tested as far as i know. All british citizens are entitled to apply. If they meet the criteria, i supposed they will be put on priority.
