UK, Ireland / Poles claim UK benefits after working only one year instead of going home [156]

You know what sucks ?

I am Polish living in the UK, working here 3 years. Now get redundant and I got the job now, however, I was claiming JBA for 2 months and what they said at the end ?

You are not entitled to Income Based JBA. This is because we have decided that you do not meet the requirements for the right to reside test and therefore for benefit purposes you are not considered to be habitually resident in the uk...

I think im going tomorrow to JC...

If stupid english see this article in some stupid paper they think that all poles are like this !
Crap.

UK, Ireland / (NO RASISM OR STEREOTYPING BTW) WHO IS POLISH IN THE UK AND ON BENEFITS? [46]

I wanted this benefits because I didn't know how long Im going to be without job but anyway, they didn't pay me yet, funny...

I've got the job now, but dont know when im gonna start because of CRB check. Anyway, on those JSA you cannot live so I would start any job just to have money to live.

I even registered in one temp agency where you can get job on next day - of course minimum pay - kitchen assistant - but its a job.

I don't understand what the problem if Im here 3 years working and paying taxes....

Hello.

I'm Polish, living in UK 3 years now and in February I was made redundant from IT company, I am on Job seeker Allowance but When called them first time they ask so many questions about everything and then interview in Job centre and again questions, anyway, they said that I will get this. I have to come every two weeks to Job centrer and show and talk about what I was doing to find the job.

Fine, Great. I found the job, now just waiting for some paper work.
Anyway, I had a phone call from JC and they said that they are not gonna give me this benefits because of some missing papers, and I had another interview - milion questions like for Police check about everything in your life ! Why ? I'm still waiting for their decision.
