Benefits query moving to Isle of Man

4 Posts

I'm currently renting a property in England and receiving Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support.
I'm retired and single.
Thinking of moving to Isle of Man, to be closer to family who live there.
I'm currently receiving these benefits.
State Pension.
Pension Credit.
PIP Mobility (Higher rate.)
PIP Care ( Standard rate .)
Does anyone know how these benefits would be affected, If I was to move to Isle of Man ?
I can of course contact relevant agencies for information, But would be so grateful if any on here could advise.
Thank You.

Many new residents to island may not receive benefits
Looking at your username suggests you maybe Manx 🤔
Other than that it's actually a great place to live, beautiful countryside, lovely people.
Best you come for a long holiday in the winter. If.you like that you will love it. Lots do!!!
Maybe I would be better staying in England and flying over every 6 weeks ( School holiday) to retain my current benefits and still have regular contact with family.
Thank You for the reply.
He loves the island and is now a minister in the parliament over there.
He does admit that life can be a struggle over there if you don't have sufficient wealth and income.
