What options are available to those who are sick/disabled/unemployable (temporarily or otherwise) and are rightly concerned that social welfare and healthcare are getting worse/due to worsen?

If it is personally negligent/injurious/life-limiting/life-threatening to remain in the UK? People in such situations have suffered more than most in the last decade and as such now have either debt, no funds, or at best limited funds/interim welfare benefits. What are the options?

Be living in Scotland when it secedes from the union.

My daughter's just applied to Edinburgh uni on this basis.

A very good q Malvern Rider. Tories are deliberately ignoring those of us with long term Lyme disease. Last year's new NICE guidelines meant progress in that new or suspected bites would have a protocol to follow. However, the NHS claim that antibiotics clears the infection yet there is no proof of this. Patients are then told "it's in your head" or "you have health anxiety" etc.

It was too late for me to be treated by the NHS, antibiotics could potentially have done more damage. There is nothing the NHS will do for me, apart from being blocked from accessing any NHS consultants courtesy of psycho GP partner who undoubtedly views me as a drain on profits.

So, yeah, am sick of funding and managing my own healthcare whilst feeling too cr*p to hold down a job. If Scotland could offer me some healthcare for Lyme then I'd seriously consider moving.

Get a grip. Seriously.

You have no way of knowing how things will work out. This might be a good day, it might be bad. To suffer and worry about an outcome you do not know is mad.

There is an excellent series of philosophy podcasts called "Philosophize This". Try listening to the early ones on Socrates and the Stoics. These guys lived through some bad shit, their thoughts on worrying about shit you can't know or control is simple and profound.

I think that we (British citizens) have the right to live in the Republic of Ireland, no? That's my Plan B when MrsJ gets told to "get back where you came from, we don't want your sort here, paying for our schools and hospitals while never taking a penny".

On the other hand, I’ve found I pass the first cut for fast track Canadian immigration. Including taking my wife and family.

For those of us who are able-bodied relocating is daunting enough. Unless you haven't got one I imagine it would be better to stay here and have a support network.

We're fortunate in that my wife is Danish and our girls have dual nationality so we do have an option even if it's not as simple as just moving. My wife would actually rather move to Scotland, she was researching properties in the borders over lunch, even if Scotland doesn't leave the union I think that I'd prefer that over Denmark.

What options

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the grass isn't greener. There's a good reason people who genuinely have little trek across the EU to enter the UK and its not the weather.

Calais' "jungle" and Berlin's homeless is what asylum in the EU looks like, you'd be no better off for being white and unable to work.

Emigrating within the EU, unless you find work (which you may not be able to do as a recent UK emigrant anymore) has never been an option - you had 6 months to find long term work before your right to remain became a matter of debate and depended on your liklihood of finding long term work or out you go.

So to summarise your advice - if something shit has happened, ignore it.

Your best bet re leaving the country to an EU state is to look for an un-filled job and stay there for whatever the time is - 5 years typically. There are jobs around, I have seen a few in IT.

I suspect we'll be offered a route in due course, tbh, as I suggested on the EU thread.

Genuinely what is this good reason? It has always puzzled me. The only 2 explanations I've been given is they have support networks here already which is a bit Chicken / Egg or we have much laxer enforcement of laws around working and living without documentation - identity card system etc?

What tomd said - whats happened that suddenly is so disastrous that this morning the OP panicked and decided to risk moving to a whole new county and inherit their problems with the added risk of being of immigrant status, when you live in a perfectly good 1st world country of your birth (presumably).

I've been doing the same today as I did yesterday, nothing has changed around me.

No is correct. The way it works is: if you have an Irish parent you are considered an Irish citizen and can apply for an Irish passport. If you have an Irish grandparent you can apply for Irish citizenship and once granted an Irish passport.

If you are married to someone who either has or is entitled to an Irish passport the bad news is you're not. To get one need to have been resident in the Republic for three years out of the last five (there are conditions on that), then go through the normal citizenship application then passport.

The question wasn't about passports, it was about living there.

"Under Irish law, all British citizens – including Manx people and Channel Islanders, who are not entitled to take advantage of the European Union's freedom of movement provisions – are exempt from immigration control and immune from deportation.[61] They are entitled to live in Ireland without any restrictions or conditions.[62] They have, with limited exceptions,[63] never been treated as foreigners under Irish law, having never been subject to the Aliens Act 1935 or to any orders made under that Act.[62] British citizens can thus move to Ireland to live, work or retire and unlike other EU citizens, they are not required to demonstrate having sufficient resources or have private health insurance in order to retire. This is due to the fact that British citizens are also entitled to use Irish public services on the same basis as Irish citizens in Ireland.[62]"

@alpin I don't actually see it that way. If you want to point the finger, and don't blame you either, then point it at the Tory voters for electing such a bunch of two bob shitehawks. And, importantly, point your finger at Labour, Lib Dems, Greens etc for not uniting and working together to tell Cameron and his thugs that a "yes" or "no" vote devoid of any detail is totally unacceptable and should be withdrawn. It was an insult to the electorate, treating them as stupid as only those from a particular genepool tend to do.

There was a window of opportunity yet apathy ruled. Welcome to the UK State where our rights will gradually be taken away from us as they've promised to do and things will only get worse.

The most likely reason I was ever given was by an Eritrean who said something like "I've been through everywhere else [in Europe] and I wasn't stopping there if I wanted to live like a human, the UK might not be the best but its the last place"

Do you really think Ireland is going to be a better place to live?

Shit healthcare system and private is expensive. The good jobs are in places where housing is incredibly expensive.

Very high rates of tax at a very early stage, local property tax that only pays for street lighting.

No effective public transport outside Dublin, dogshit cycling Infrastructure, bike to work is only once every 5 years and there is a chance you could bump into my mother in law FFS.

Oh, and cars are more expensive with a lower spec too.

Maybe not, but my problem is that MrsJ is a non-British EU citizen who does not have "settled status", so the question is - where in the world can we live together?

As others have said, the grass isn't always greener. We've just moved from the UK to Spain (Mrs is a Spanish national) primarily because of Brexit uncertainty and some days I do wonder if we made the right choice.

Some things are better here, for example public nurseries are good and free here in Madrid. Private nursery was going to cost us £1,200 a month!!! back home meaning we wouldn't be able to save any money. However at the moment this is offset by the fact that I don't have a job. There's a demand for native English speakers in businesses but you also need fluent or close-to-fluent Spanish and at present I only know the basics. English teaching is looking like the only immediate route I'll be able to go down, but its quite easy to make €24,000 pro rata pre-tax with the right teaching certificate. Problem is though, the work dries up over the summer so earnings can be unstable.

Houses here in the city cost a fortune. In the countryside you can pick up a big villa with land for next to nothing, however all the non-farming jobs are in the city.

Politically we have a far right party (Vox) sitting as the third largest party in parliament, so populism and Trump-ism are here too. Someone threw a live hang grenade at a children's refugee centre a couple of weeks ago, so the same bull-sh*t is happening here.

We used to live in the Yorkshire Dales and I am originally from rural North Yorkshire so I do get homesick quite often and miss the sheep, muddy bike rides and stodgy food.

Just a few random thoughts.

^^^^^^^
To add to this, an EU citizen's spouse and dependants can live with them even if they are working in another EU country that is not their birth country. The spouse is therefore entitled to apply for a work permit within that country.

I can't honestly see the EU countries welcoming "sick/disabled/unemployable" Brits in to live off their welfare and health systems post exit, can you? I can only envisage it if EU citzens were granted reciprocal rights in a UK/EU agreement and I view the likelihood of that as the unlikeliest of unlikely things.
As it is I can see us welcoming back our diaspora of leathery-skinned pensioners over the next few years to become an increasing burden on our own health and social care system as their health starts to fail. Hopefully the predominantly young and fit tax paying EU immigrants will have cleared off and left some space for them.

We early retired to France just before the referendum and now, because we pay income tax and have pension funds, we can access the health service here.

I am pretty sure that if you don't have funds to support yourself, or have a job in the EU, then you won't be allowed to stay, or access the health system. The French (and other countries I would think) don't want someone from another country being a drain on their resources. Who can blame them!

There have been cases of people without the necessary funds to support themselves being deported. Something that the UK government have always had the right to do but AFAIK rarely did.

We now have a 5 year residency card which is being changed after Brexit. What the conditions of obtaining the new card will be, isn't known yet but I would imagine if Boris plays rough with the EU, or cuts back on the existing rights of EU citizens in the UK, then France will do the same to us.

Despite the Brits here contributing a lot to their local economies, there was an attempt a few years back to add an additional tax on Brits living here. This was stopped by that nasty EU lot who do nothing for anyone but themselves.....

I hope we would be allowed to stay, having been here nearly four years now but our lives are now a lot less secure thanks to Thursday's result. Anyone recently arrived, or about to settle in the EU, might well be on dodgy ground however.

To the OP

If you just move then there is a fair chance you will lose your reciprocal healthcare rights although if you move before brexit you will get right to remain easily in most countries - but nothing is set in stone.

Going for asylum on grounds that your other half will not receive the healthcare she needs here - a very tricky move to pull off and would be fought all the way I would think. I do not really see that working

Sadly your best bet will be to get work and take your partner with you

As you point out, you are moving and not fully contributing - so most countries will not look on you favourably.
The best option maybe just to stay here.
Having lived in Germany, Switzerland ( twice) and Scotland, it’s not so bad - just get over the constant doom and apocalyptic postings on here.

I'd say, 'lucky barsteward' but Saxon Rider might say different seeing as he's a Canadian over here.
Wish I'd tried for Canada years ago, probably around the time we joined what was then The Common Market.

It is a sad consequence of trying to tackle fake marriages, arranged marriages etc as a way to UK residence and passport.

Strangely a UK passport and residence is attractive to lots of people who don't post on here

Yes really this, why do you think it would be a problem Drj ?

Because the situation has changed in the past and may change again in the future, one source of concern being restrictions on leaving the UK without having been deemed to have abandoned her "application" (and why does she have to "apply" to keep what was hers anyway?). With people like Johnson and Patel in charge I'm not filled with confidence.

Houns - you can not get away from the fact that the Government handled this very badly, as I've stated before. Did you make any representation to your local MP? Government are answerable to its citizens first and foremost and i don't see it as the remit of the EU to become involved in how the UK is run. Nevertheless I can see this rumbling on for years to come due to Tories not wanting to leave, now more than ever we need citizens to hammer home that Tories are so blinkered and self-serving that they have absolutely no idea of how their actions have detrimentally affected so many. It's time for a reform of politics.

Just to illustrate how much we create worry based on our own flawed perceptions. I was reading the GE stories on our local newpaper site. This is a previous Labour heartland that's elected a few new Tory MPs.

In the comments section, there was this gem. Yes that's right. A diasbled person on benefits getting excited at the prospect of a Tory government postively reforming their area and their benefits.

...My wife and I voted Tory on Thursday for the first time. We've given you the benefit of the doubt here. You're on trial. Sweeten your welfare reforms and remember the present
private medical tests for PIPS and ESA are rotten to the core. Most people are refused their benefits then two thirds of appealers win. You'll also be judged on the NHS, this area's economy, social care and education. Let us down and it'll be be another party that gets the stomping majority ...

My true blue Tory Brexiteer parents were adamant that this "new" Tory government had been voted in on trust and needed to deliver on their promises. I'm saying nothing - as their only child I potentially have a lot to gain if the NHS fails them before they need social care....

Read an interesting, if overblown, opinion piece yesterday about "poor" people voting Tory due to nationwide Stockholm Syndrome, but can't find the link now

One of the gems of my brother getting French citizenship* last year was being told our mother's death certificate was too old as it hadn't been issued within the last 3 months 😃

*he's lived and worked in France for 37yrs and been married to lovely French woman for the past 15

Try listening to the early ones on Socrates and the Stoics. These guys lived through some bad shit, their thoughts on worrying about shit you can’t know or control is simple and profound.

Hmmm... thing is we rarely get to muse over the philosophers who didn't live through bad shit.

I don’t understand why being married doesn’t let you stay in her country of birth? You are married yes?

Due to a rather bizarre loophole.
It will allow them to live in any other EU country BUT the one of her birth because to use this she needs to be exercising her rights as a EU citizen ....

At least this is how the UK have interpreted this...and it would be expected that we get reciprocity? [OH is EU national and our son was born here but she could still be deported]

There was such a person on - I think - C4 News. The journo asked her why she'd voted Tory. The girl said something about not believing Labour spending plans. The journo asked if she wasn't concerned by the way the Tories cut disability benefit. She replied that she didn't follow politics that much.

C_G : You’re welcome, in both senses.

I’m aware of several GPs up here who are supporting chronic Lyme patients; there’s certainly a recognition of it here and a move to have better treatment become the norm.
Among those GPs is a German national, who has worked for the NHS for 9 years now. She’s very worried by the toxic comments from Boris, where he was so recently criticising EU nationals for treating the UK as their home. What an unbelievable attitude.

How does this work?

If you bought a holiday home in Spain and paid all your taxes would you be able to be an EU citizen?

How about if I bought the shittiest house in Bulgaria with a few mates?

Nope, not between now and 31/12.

You could get residency in whichever country, using whatever their rules are to gain a residence permit. You would then be a resident in the EU but not an EU citizen.

Or you could get residency of that country (as above), and then qualify for citizenship for that country (often 5-7 years, passing a language test, passing citizenship test etc.), and if granted, then yes you would be a citizen of that country, and then an EU citizen.

Dunno what the rules for Bulgaria are like now, but it used t be that you had to be a Bulgarian citizen to buy a house. Then they joined EU, and had to relax that law to be any EU/EEA citizen. I have no idea if the law now says that non-EU are also allowed to buy. You'll be OK if you buy that house, erm by tomorrow. No need to buy, rent must be cheap as chips too.

We are moving to Scotland this summer so with luck we will be able to become EU citizens again if wee Krankie gets her way.

It's not a question of being an EU citizen, it's the ability to live, work and get health care if you are living and legally registered in the country. That means getting pre-settled status or settled status in the UK (it's free and if you've already paid the fee is reimbursed under the agreement) before 31/12/2020. In France it means getting a (free) carte de séjour before 31/12/2020. In theory at least there's a similar system in every EU country because that's what's agreed in the withdrawal agreement.

If you want the be an EU citizen then you'll have to apply for and get nationality of one of the 27.

Congratulations. The first person I knew who applied for French nationality after Brexit got nationality last year. The other two who applied a bit later are now just waiting and there was a report on the TV recently about a refusal for someone in France for 25 years as their income is too low. It looks like France is taking the reciprocity aspect seriously. Tit for tat, no more passports for the poor just settled status.

I'd be happy with settled residence. How can I get that?

cheers, I've been a citizen now for a year or so, but a passport is quite symbolic, for me anyhow.

I actually think I will have a tinge of sadness when I collect it.

That's the guy, footflaps, it made France 3 news with exactly the same story. I wonder how many French people in France who had applications turned down managed to get 33 000 signatures of support?

Why would French people in France even need to apply?

Thanks for pointing out the error, doomanic, I meant to say French people in the UK. In other words do people love their French neighbours enough to try and help them?
