European Union (EU) Settled Status Scheme - Further information and advice

Further information and advice

If you need advice or assistance in connection with the EU Settlement Scheme, you may be able to get this from one of the organisations the UK Government funded to assist people needing help with applications to the EU Settlement Scheme.

Unless you have been granted settled status, the benefit rules can be complex. Unfortunately many claimants are incorrectly refused benefits and need to challenge these refusals.  If you need to check what you can claim, or if your benefit claim has been refused, you should get independent advice. You may be able to get help from an organisation that specialises in advising European nationals and their family members or you can contact a general advice organisation such as Citizens Advice or a law centre.  

Turn2us is unable to offer advice on individual situations.
