davidg Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Here's the thing. If Britain is no longer in the EU it can change any rule it likes about residency, who gets benefits etc. For example, they can give any EU national the right to work or live, provided they can support themselves but not let them claim in work benefits or out of work benefits.

Riedquat Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 As much as 3.6 million fewer people in the UK would be a great benefit to the UK kicking people out who had every reason to believe they wouldn't be kicked out would be wrong, although that shouldn't be extended to any who arrive between now and escape.

One-percent Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I don't mind at all letting those stay who are contributing, but all benefits must be stopped for those who have not contributed. If, once the benefits have been removed these people can then find gainful employment, paying enough so that they are fully self supporting, then fine let em stay.

Indeed. No recourse to public funds is a very easy condition to place on a residence permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It was never an open ended agreement. People came here on the ASSUMPTION it would last forever. If that ends - so be it. I think anyone who had been in the uk and has 5+ years of NI contributions can stay. Anyone else ? No. Get a visa if you are really that necessary to the future of this country - if not - cheerio.

Tell me a single person who arrived in the UK and was told they could stay here forever whether the UK was in the EU or not ? You get £100k for each one.

spyguy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Maybe the easiest solution should be for the other country to refund any benefit payment for their nationals living elsewhere in the EU. I, for one, would be happy to pay for the handful of British doleys living off benefits in Poland - I guess handful is actually 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quid Pro Quo on UK nationals resident in places like Spain and Germany. Welfare benefits might not be as generous but if we restrict them, we should expect other Governments to do the same. These places do have a child allowance I think for elegible children if nothing else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why hospitals are full of very tanned OAPs. I know one who spends about half the year in Spain but comes back here for his medical treatment.

crashmonitor Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 So let me get this right, expat in Spain runs out of money at 65, only option is to come home and claim Uk minimum income guarantee retirement benefits and get socially housed. Eastern Europe came to UK at 64 as car washer and at 65 can't get sent home. Only option is UK minimum income guarantee and socially housed by UK forever. Am I getting this wrong or are we about to financially and anally screwed because it is lose lose for Brits and win win for recent migrants.

Ok, I might be being really stupid here and much of the pension changes have passed me by (other than my conviction that I will be shafted in some way). But, my understanding is that pension is predicated on national insurance contributions. My forecast for pension is 122 pw but if I pay for the new stamp for eight years, I'll get the full 155.

crashmonitor Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 No it isn't predicated on anything. How do you think someone who has contributed zero gets a UK pension and is housed. There will always be a minimum income guarantee, otherwise you have got to bring back workhouses or let people with out an NIC record starve. If you can't send a migrant home then you have to provided a pension and home, end of. Sure a national insurance record will mean something if you have savings or private pension priovision.
