Petition Benefit payments to be equal to birth country
More details
In at least the first 2 years of residency, the benefits paid to those from other countries and also UK citizens residing in other countries should be equal to the benefits that would have been paid in the immigrants/emigrants home/birth country and not equal to the residing country.'s benefits system. This will reduce immigration for benefits tourists and also put a fair share on other EU countries for expat UK emigrants.
The government should challenge the EU commission to make this law across the EU now.
