Are the Poles in England hated? [450]
As regards to the child benefit being paid to a couple or mother who is not resident in that country, ponder this
im Scottish my girl Polish, we met and have been living in ireland, she fell for a baby and we took the decision to move back to Scotland, for many reasons...
she will be nearly 6 months gone when we get back to Scotland so wont be able to take a new job straight away, figures yeah?
now the interesting part, as she does no have a national insurance number yet, and has never paid any tax in Scotland, she will not be entitled to any monies (maternity), and will have to be dependant on my income in Scotland. Fair enough i hear you say....
however as she has lived in Ireland for 3 years and been working and paying tax here she is entitled to maternity payment from the Irish government even though she will be living in Scotland and the baby will be born in Scotland.
now i do not to badly as wages are concerned, but up until now i just had to roof over my head and clothe and feed myself, now i will have 3 mouths to feed when i get back to Scotland.
so we will exercise our rights and claim the money we are entitled to!
So is this Fair enough or not?
