If you look up 'habitual residency test' that will give you some info. I'm not sure what it is in full, but they will need to be able to show that they haven't returned merely to obtain benefits, or else there will be some time specified before they can claim anything.0

have a look at the habitual residence test as they will need to pass that first, do they have any property overseas?0

Are you saying they have an ILR (Indefinate Leave to Remain) visa, or that they have a British passport?RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

The question was in regard to my mother who lived here between 1991-1995 with my dad who passed away here. They both have British Overseas Passport with indefinite leave to stay in the UK. My mother left UK to live in India because of the difference in lifestyle. She used to live there with my elder brother. Now she intends to return back to UK to live permanently with us.A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

Wow, can someone really claim full benefits while living here for only 4 years?
Did your mother work here during that time?Be happy, it's the greatest wealth

Is she not eligible for pension from wherever she has spent all but four of her years of life? I know that when I retire, I'll be collecting pension from Australia, Canada and UK, as I have contributed to pensions in all of these places in my working life, so they are each liable to pay me.0

As another thought?
Is she able to claim pension credit/benefits from the Indian government while she resides in the UK?Be happy, it's the greatest wealth0 -
Are you sure her ILR is still valid?
Normally it ceases to be valid after a 2 year absence....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I thought that a holder of a British Overseas passport was a British National, but not a British Citizen?
From what you have said, it seems that she is a British national who had an ILR visa.
A British citizen does not need a visa to enter the UK.neverdespairgirl wrote: »Are you sure her ILR is still valid?

That was my thinking too.
Edited to say: I just had a quick google and I can't find anywhere that says that a holder of a British Overseas passport, has the right of adobe in the UK.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

Under the last government, some foreign nationals could claim as soon as they enter the UK, even those that had never been to the UK before. This government have announced plans to stop this for non-EU citizens.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property?
