How can this be right ?
Under EU rules, child benefit is paid to parents who work and pay tax in the UK and whose children have stayed in their home countries.
New figures, show that the benefit is being used to support nearly 29,000 children living in Poland, along with thousands of children elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
The cost of living in some of these countries is lower than in the UK but they still receive UK rates. Surely the benefit that they receive should be based, pro rata, on the cost of living for the country in which the child lives.
And now our government is set to cut benefits to UK citizens but these foreign workers will still be able to claim these benefits.
This is not right and is truly unacceptable.
