Hi all..I have a client who is from Latvia. (A8 national)..She has lived here for three years and is registered with the home office. She has worked for two years and is a lone parent with a child of 4 years of age. She has been made redundant and has claimed Income Support (3 months ago) as a lone parent.. She has been refused with the one liner decision stating that she is a ''person from abroad''.She was verbally told that its because she hasnt lived here five years, however she has been verbally told that she could claim JSA,as she could qualify for this. She has asked for a written statement of reasons and is appealing the decision. It seems they quoted 21AA 1 and 2 of the 1987 IS regs, Regs 4 and 5 of the Accession(Immigration and Worker Registration Regs ad Regulation 6 The Immigration European Economic Area Regs 2006.. Has anyone any ideas on this?
