In case you're not already aware, as of 10th November there are further changes to the rules for EEA nationals who claim benefits with a qualifying right to reside as a jobseeker. This means that EEA nationals will now only be entitled to benefits for 3 months, as opposed to 6, before they must provide 'compelling evidence' of being engaged in work. However, this won't affect EEA jobseekers who have an alternative right to reside, or who are exempt from the Habitual Residence Test.
We have no doubt that this will affect many of your clients - what do you see the impact being, and do you have a plan to tackle this? Let us know by commenting below...
