Morning all,
Please help ease my troubled mind. I’m going round and round in circles and when I close my eyes I can still see circular A9/06 and HB reg 10.
We have a claim from an A8 national, the Slovak Republic to be exact. The clt seems to have been here for at least the last two years and he states that he has had two jobs, the first lasting 13 months and the second lasting 6 months. He is now unemployed, but not entitled to JSA(IB); I don’t know why. He may be getting JSA(C), I doubt it, but we can check.
Do we need to see proof under the worker’s registraition scheme that he has been employed and when? If he has had 12 months work, he is treated the same as an EEA 16 national. But is that the last 12 months or any period of 12 months?
Then, treating him as an EEA 16 work seeker, he is not on JSA(IB) and so he is not “passported through the HRT for HB & CTB”. But can he still claim HB or is he treated as failing the HRT and so excluded?
I though I had this but the more I think about it the more confused I get.
Cheers,
Darren
