<p>The Government has always been clear that EU, EEA and Swiss nationals and their
family members granted status through the EU Settlement Scheme will be able to continue
their lives in the UK much as before, with the same entitlements as now to access
benefits, social housing and homelessness assistance services. Those granted pre-settled
status under the scheme will not have any change in their entitlement to access benefits
and services.</p><p> </p><p>A consultation has not been carried out as these regulations
do not reflect a change in the existing rules or government policy and therefore will
not have any adverse effects. These regulations provide legal clarity to claimants,
applicants, decision makers and local authorities, delivering continuity and ensuring
that the existing rules are applied fairly.</p>
