Has anyone had experience of an EC student attempting to receive benefits
in the UK? I have received queries from a prospective student, 65% disabled
as far as the Spanish authorities are concerned, and therefore in receipt
of benefits. He and his family are permanently resident in Spain. If he
begins his BA Hons. degree here in September 1997, will he, in your
experience, be able to claim DLA, etc., earlier than after six months?
As an EC student he will not be eligible for the DSA, and understands that.
Because of reciprocal agreements, however, when can he claim other benefits?
Many thanks in advance,
Celia
