I have EU settled status. What does this mean for my benefit entitlement?
If you have settled status, you have full access to benefits. You are not excluded from any benefits due to your immigration status (because you are not defined as a ‘person subject to immigration control’) and your settled status means you have a qualifying right to reside for all benefits that have this requirement. You will still need to satisfy the other conditions for each benefit, including the presence and residence tests.
