<p>We have been clear that, under the Withdrawal Agreement, EU citizens in the UK
on a pathway to settled status will continue to be able to access benefits after the
end of the implementation period on the same basis that they can access them now.
This broadly means equal access for workers and the self-employed and limited access
for those not working. If these individuals go on to acquire settled status, they
will then be able to access benefits on the same terms as comparable UK nationals.</p><p>Legal
aid will continue to be available to all that meet the required criteria under the
Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) and who require
legal services that are within scope of LASPO.</p><p> </p>
