bigears Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 hiHow would removing a person off IB down to unemployment (jobseekers?) benefit affect ex pats here in france? Would the IB claimant on loosing their benefit not be able to claim UK unemployment benefit as its not exportable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Presumably you would have to be medically assessed in Britain to see if you would be able to work, and if the answer was yes, you would have to be available for work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any genuine claimants would have any worries about losing ICB, just those able to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Âme Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Norman, I believe they're talking about Incapacity Benefit (IB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
