If you have recently moved to the UK, your entitlement to public funds will depend on the status you have. Generally, citizens with pre-settled status will be asked to prove that they can pass the ‘habitual residence test’ in the UK, which can include showing you have been in the UK for a certain period and that you have been in employment. It is advised that you check your own personal eligibility to state benefits based on your particular circumstances.

However, this is subject to a legal challenge, see [ Ссылка ]
