PFA- changes of circs so no longer G&E?

You should do both.

ok, thanks,

Another one where the hours have decrease but this polish person has been in the uk since 2003. He went to prison between 2006 and 2008 approximately. He worked up until he went to prison and when he came out in 2008 he went onto jobseekers until 2011 when he started working again. he has worked ever since. I would have thought he has acquired a permanent right to reside but i don’t know how the being in prison affects this.

Have a look at articles 27 and 28 of EC Directive 2004/38 and reg’15(3) of the Immigration Regs.

Presumably he hasn’t been required to leave the country or stripped of his right of residence by the Home Secretary, so Reg 15(3) and the other regs it refers to will not apply to him.

I don’t think he can rely on the years he spent in prison as counting towards the five years for permanent residence - I believe this was established in the Learco Chindamo case (although I cannot locate the transcript at the moment).  However, he has been out of prison for more than five years now and appears to have been either a job seeker or worker at all times, therefore he seems to have a permanent right of residence.  So it doesn’t matter if his work declines to a point where it is no longer effective and genuine.
