Number of foreigners claiming tax credits 'unknown', ministers admit

[joebloggs]

How do foreigners know what tax credits are? cos I don't.

because many leaflets advising on benefits are translated into different languages, and i think they've taken all the questions out of the 'life in uk 'test now which had anything to do with benefits so some people are not aware.

you should not be able to claim tax credits unless your a British citizen or have ILR. those from outside of the EU cant, i know many hard working Filipinos who struggle with kids, paying their taxes but cannot claim ILR or any benefits until they been in the UK 5yrs, yet EU citizens can, how is that fair

That's supposed to be the new changes, but they haven't released yet when would it start and haven't published new books for the changes yet.
