Chapter 12: Who has a right to reside
This chapter explains who has a right to reside. For information on the benefits and tax credits that require a right to reside, details of the requirements for each and the types of residency rights that are specifically excluded, see here.
The right to reside requirement is only one of the residence and presence conditions that must be satisfied for some benefits and tax credits. For all the residence and presence rules for each benefit, see Chapter 13.
If you, your partner and child are not all British or Irish citizens, you also need to check whether your benefit entitlements are affected by being defined as a ‘person subject to immigration control’ (see Chapters 7 and 8).
