Migrants

On 24 April 2015 the DWP issued guidance in relation to removing the right of EEA nationals and their family members to claim universal credit. The new guidance provides advice to decision makers on the Universal Credit (EEA Jobseekers) Amendment Regulations 2015(SI.No.546/2015) which, from 10 June 2015, provide that EEA nationals who are jobseekers and their family members with a right to reside in the UK will no longer be treated as being habitually resident for the purposes of universal credit entitlement. The new guidance - ADM 14/15- is available from gov.uk.
