Will we be entitled to any more benefits?

Overseas generally have no recourse to public funds for a time limit, which I believe is at least 12 months or more. I think after that benefits are at a reduced rate and difficult for them to get.

Of course we have to remember that many are born here regardless of skin colour, and are therefore British.

I was born here in the 60's - my real father is not British, but neither does he know I exist. However, I am British.

Not all immigrants have no recourse to public funds. Others have to wait a while...but oh boy, the rewards when they happen!!

Yes, millions of "British" people, born here to parents from other countries....and those parents are also bringing in their parents, grandparents and even their domestic pets to share, embrace and enrich our culture....that's why I am, and always will be, English...never British.

Please read up on the conditions for claiming severe disability premium and you will see it does NOT apply.

Nope! I didn't misunderstand him.

Can you explain where he went wrong seeing that he ended up with the same figures, except that I have amended them now in line with the 2012/13 rates.

Besides which I am more inclined to go along with what the Pension Service say and what my investigations/checks made on the various on line calculators say.

You carry on thinking what you want to.

There is only so much that one can do to show someone the error of their ways.

Most companies dont go under, and most skills are transferable.

But you can take a pessimistic outlook if you want I guess.

The problem is are the alternate options to work - things may change a lot over the next few years. Maybe benefits will be cut to subsistence level.

Or maybe people on benefits will muddle through, getting to pensionable age, and make the depressing realisation that they've managed to spend their entire life living off the efforts of others, the ones that did bother going to work.

But it will if course be the governments fault.

Immigrants can claim benefits just 3 months after arriving in the country.

Not in my case.... Either way I was born in London and have lived here all my life. Never met any of my parents - worked as long as I could - does that make me less entitled?

He was posting as you....or quoting you.... He was not agreeing with you! Big clues there!

The rules were changed last year, in May 2011 I believe, when immigrants became eligible to claim benefits (JSA, HB, CT) after just 3mths residency in the UK. I thought it was common knowledge.

Sorry, you have me lost.

Personally I don't particularly care what you think. If you want to spout wrong info to everyone - that's OK with me.

I do know what I am talking about, it's a shame that you don't!!

And what are the clues I am supposed to be looking at?
