Daily Mail said:
An EU agreement means that citizens of one country who work in another are entitled to out-of-work benefits if they have paid national insurance for a certain period.

Daily Mail said:
In the UK the threshold is two years...

A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said:
"This Government does not pay benefits to someone in another country when they would not have been eligible for them in the UK..."
 
I assume this rule, which to be honest sounds fair and correct only applies to the UK and all other EU members are exempt?

For the record it would take something as monumental as having my brain removed before I voted UKIP.
 
Poles have done a lot for this country, often totally unthanked. They have held up our curtains for centuries, given our dancers something to gyrate around and allowed Michael Palin to see the world - it's time we gave something back.
