Cheers Ded .I'm grateful for you posting that..as the links are mostly a pain, even on my all singing and dancing S4

I know the Government are making it so hard to claim anything now...the downside being, the real deserving folks are being let down...it's they who are having to jump through hoops while the frauds have already worked it

It's this Human Rights Act again ...The Government can't be seen to discriminate between good and evil

Interesting post Ded. Ireland pay £110 a month child benefit and £160 per week unemployment benefit no wonder they're skint .
Surely the only way to deal with economic migrants if you allow them to come is to pay them what they're entitled to in their own country and their own country have to pick up the bill.

so why is it that cameron is told he cant stop Europeans claiming benefits when it looks like other countries can.

surely its time the EU had standard benefits for EU citizens in other EU countries, why should they get the same benefits as the locals if they been paying all their life ??

Excellent point Joe...I'll ponder that

a better idea would be, if you wanted to claim benefits and your in a different EU country, then you should claim them from the country you came from, and not the country your in unless you've worked there for 2yrs

Slightly ... but one disgraceful advantage [continental] Europeans living in have over us, is their 'Treaty Right' that entitles them to "benefit" from being allowed to bring foreign partners to the UK free of charge.

We can take our partners over there free of charge as well Arthur ...what's good for the goose is good for the gander
