  • 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.

    Another case of Anubis believing that they know everything but in reality knows very little.

    I have a word for those types of people - bul*****er!!

    Nonsense.
    Yes, millions of "British" people, born here to parents from other countries....

    Possibly, yes. If one parent is either a citizen or "settled" (with an indefinite right to remain/right of abode), the child acquires citizenship. (It's a little more complicated than that.)
    and those parents are also bringing in their parents, grandparents

    there are very strict rules about this, including a rule that the relative/s will have no recourse to public funds

    and even their domestic pets

    gosh! we'll be swamped by alien little furry animals!
    ....that's why I am, and always will be, English...never British.

    proud to be a bigot, eh?

    The new rules apply to certain immigrants only, to immigrants from certain EU countries. (I believe.)

    Whilst I will not comment on the content of the post, I too consider myself as English, and detest, when I see a form that asks if I am ...... White British - I amend the document to read 'White English - and proud of it'

    I refuse to be described as British or an UK Citizen!!

    I can trace my family back at least 500 years at present and we are all as English as they come!

    Really? I never said I knew everything but I do know you are very wrong as far as all the disability premiums that you claim they get.

    You stated that two pensioners (over 65) on AA who both have carers (underlying entitlement or not) can get the severe /disability premium.

    I kept telling you otherwise, you would not listen, and now call me a !!!!!!!!ter.

    So here, as you are too lazy, I will post the link....

    http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/OtherBenefitsAndSupport/DG_068683

    For one thing, you have to be UNDER 60 for the disability and enhanced premium, - and for the second thing BOTH cannot claim carers and get it for the severe disability premium, and finally, if both are on AA they won't qualify! ONE has to be on DLA M OR H care, and one has to be on AA.

    Now tell me who speaks bull? ;). According to you they are getting it - this proves you are telling porkies.

    Don't think I was !!!!!!!!ting, do you? As Clemmatis states, the three month rule only applies to certain immigrants from EU countries....

    I stated "Immigrants generally (in general) " which was correct, as we all can see the immigrants being mentioned where not those pertaining to certain EU countries.

    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?

    As I have proved, you are the one spouting wrong info, yet claim to have worked on cracking fraudulent HMRC cases :rotfl: when you don't even know the rules regarding disability premiums. :eek:

    If you cannot see that Wellynever was mocking you, then I am not going to waste any further time explaining.....

    Why are you quoting all of that?
    Your link refers only to people who are under 60!!!

    What about the poor sods that are over 60?
    Pension Credit criteria then comes into the equation.

    http://www.firststopcareadvice.org.uk/downloads/resources/2_Pension_Credit_2010.pdf

    Have a look at page 9.

    Where both husband and wife receive Attendance Allowance and/or the Middle Rate/Higher Rate for Care of DLA AND where no one actually receives payment of Carers Allowance. SDP is paid at the higher rate (Couple Rate) + 2 lots of Carers Premiums as there are underlying entitlements.

    It's quite simple for you to check all of this out.

    Just go to one of the Pension Credit/Benefit on line calculators, put the info in as I gave it and you will find that you are completely wrong! Bing Bong!

    I'm glad that you don't work for one of the advice agencies giving out duff info like that!

    Technically speaking, as a white English person, you should be ticking the insignificant little box right at the bottom of the list......"other". Yes, in England we come under that category, behind Asian, Black etc. etc. Well, the warning was given in the 60s.
