The EU Settlement Scheme
Since the UK left the EU, nationals from EU countries living in the UK need to have made an application for permission to live in the UK on the EU Settlement Scheme. The deadline for applying has passed. However, it might still be possible to make a late application and NCLS can advise on this and help with an application if appropriate.
Welfare Benefits
We can provide advice on welfare benefits refusals where the issue involves eligibility on the grounds of right to reside, habitual residence and past and presence.
We can help from the stage of being refused a benefit and can submit a reconsideration request. We can then go on to appeal if necessary and will represent them at a tribunal hearing.
We are regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) to provide immigration advice at level 3. Our OISC approval number is N201200043.
