This chapter explains the UK benefit and tax credit rules on being paid when either you or your family members are abroad. It also covers the ways in which the European Union (EU) co-ordination rules may affect whether you can be paid benefit. See Chapter 14 for an overview of how your entitlement is affected when you go abroad and see Chapters 16 and 17 for more details on the EU co-ordination rules and international agreements.
