Chapter 57 Coming from abroad: residence rules
This chapter describes the residence and presence rules that affect your entitlement while you are in Great Britain. If you go abroad, see Chapter 58.
If you (and your partner and child) are not a British or Irish citizen, before using this chapter check Chapter 56 to see if your (or their) immigration status means you (or they) are excluded from benefits as a ‘person subject to immigration control’.
