answer text <p>The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p>Comprehensive guidance outlining eligibility for Universal Credit for EEA Nationals and the habitual residency test is available to all staff across the Jobcentre network. Universal Credit guidance is published in the House of Commons Library and the Department is committed to refreshing this at regular intervals.</p><p>Eligibility for income-related (means-tested) social security benefits depends on a person’s immigration status in the UK. Claimants must be exercising a legal right to reside and be habitually resident before they are eligible to claim income related benefit. This is assessed through the Habitual Residence Test (HRT). DWP does not automatically provide other Government departments with information regarding an individual’s benefit claim. The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 and immigration decisions are the responsibility of the Home Office.</p>

answer text <p>We do not make an estimation of those figures. The Home Office publishes data on the number of visas issued to join family members; this can be accessed at <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/734164/entry-visas3-jun-2018-tables.ods" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/734164/entry-visas3-jun-2018-tables.ods</a>. All applicants who do not meet the minimum income requirement will still be considered under exceptional circumstances.</p><p>We continue to keep the family Immigration Rules under review and make adjustments in light of feedback on their operation and impact. We have also taken into account the findings of the courts, including the Supreme Court judgment upholding the lawfulness of the minimum income re-quirement. Our overall assessment is that the family Immigration Rules are having the right impact and are helping to restore public confidence in the immigration system.</p>
