Hello,

Have a client who is Albanian but here as an EU family member (daughter). She gets small albanian state pension and pension credit. I suspect she is able to use eu coordination rules to be except from past/presence but does her receiving a albanian pension means she falls foul of not being able to claim ‘sickness’ benefits? Or is it recognised that although she is here under EU rules, she is not receiving an EU pension and therefore is able to claim AA?

I’m thinking of this issue here: https://cpag.org.uk/welfare-rights/resources/article/european-nationals-and-sickness-benefits

Thank you
