Contribution based benefits

Other benefits do not have a right-to-reside test attached to them. Any EU migrant who meets the requirements imposed on British Citizens should be able to access Disability Living Allowance, Maternity Allowance, contribution-based Jobseekers Allowance and contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance. For EU migrants who have made National Insurance contributions in the UK and social security contributions in other EU Member States, Jobcentre Plus must count the contributions made elsewhere in the EU as if they were NI contributions for the purpose of determining if the person has made sufficient contributions to get the Contribution-based benefit.

When seeking work

EU migrants looking for work in the UK and who meet the other requirements imposed on British Citizen jobseekers are entitled to access income-based Jobseekers Allowance as well as Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, along with other benefits that similarly situated British Citizens would get (but not housing or homelessness assistance). An EU migrant can collect these benefits solely on the basis of being a jobseeker for at least six months, and for beyond that as long as she can show that she is continuing to seek work and has genuine chances of becoming engaged in employment.

Permanent Residents
EU nationals normally acquire permanent residence once they have resided legally2 in the UK for a continuous period of five years. It is automatic: they can fill out form EEA4 and get a permanent residence card from the Home Office, but they should not have to do so to get access to benefits. Permanently resident EU nationals are entitled to access all benefits, housing and homelessness assistance, on exactly the same terms as British Citizens. Some EU migrants acquire permanent residence before five years have elapsed. These includes those who have resided in the UK for at least two years and worked here for one year and then become permanently incapacitated. (If the permanent incapacity results from an occupational injury, no condition as to length of residence applies.)
