uin	57171
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2016 answer text <p>Access to free NHS treatment by British citizens returning here after living in another EU country depends on whether they intend to live here permanently. Their access to public funds depends on the type of benefit claimed and, for most income-related benefits, whether they are habitually resident in this country or the Common Travel Area. The state pension is contribution-based and the amount payable depends on the individual’s National Insurance record. Those already in receipt of the state pension when they return would continue to receive this at the same rate.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 15/12/2016 16:37:32 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2016 answer text <p>It has always been the case that any UK national who returns to this country after an extended period must demonstrate they are habitually resident to be eligible for income-related benefits. Since 1 January 2014, most jobseekers must also have been living in the UK for three months before any consideration can be given to whether they are habitually resident to be eligible to receive income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance.</p><p>Regulations were amended from 9 November 2014 to exempt from the three month residence requirement members of the Armed Forces and Crown servants who were serving abroad and others who had paid certain types of UK national insurance contributions at some point during their absence abroad. We have no plans to introduce further exemptions from the three month requirement.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 15/12/2016 17:22:04 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
