UK, Ireland / Why are we paying child benefit in Poland? [63]
This makes my blood boil. I'm was born in Germany but migrated to the UK in 1992. I have practically lived her for all of my adult life so far. I have been educated here from primary school to university. Yet when I applied for Income Support on the basis of Incapacity while on medical leave from university, it took a two-year battle and a tribunal to finally pay me what I was entitled to. I had been here for more than 12 years, NOT 12 months, yet the kept bringing up the fact I'm not British. I was as British as I could be as a foreign national. Yet it took them so long. And then you have the Polese, albeit not just them to be fair, getting child benefit for their children that don't even live here. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!
And others apparently have collected what they wanted off the beefits here in the UK, and are now returning back home. I feel sorry for genuin people that claim benefits here in the UK, but also genuinely want to give something back and invest in the country!
the right to job-seekers allowance, the right to housing or housing benefit would not be paid until the person concerned, had worked continually and paid tax and national insurance (ZUS) for a period of 12 months.

but many are finding that they are not getting the last laugh as they flee back home in a bid to escape bankruptcy.
