Hello,
I am looking for some help and assistance...
I have a EEA national (Greek), who has been residing in the UK, and has recently been awarded Pension Credit. From what is known, the DWP have not undertaken any assessment of the 'Rights of Residence Directive'.
As a pensioner, I think that his right to remain in the UK, is subject to Directive 90/365/EEC (rights of pensioners to reside in other EU member states).
The HB Guidance Manual (Chapter 7, annexe c), refers to a form to be sent to the Home Office to clarify the position of the person claiming benefits. For obvious reasons I am hesitant to do this, without knowing more about the consequences.
Can anyone say whether or not CTB is payable, (HB is not an issue, as the person is an owner-occupier).
Many Thanks
