Moving back to UK with Retired Parents

If you PM me I can then email you what we went through as it's long and complicated Going through a legal firm to me won't make one iota of difference by the way

 

I think I suggested a referral to a legal firm in the UK, not because I thought they would get any better deal out of it but because I felt that was the only way for them to get a clear unbiased assessment of what benefits they could be eligible for and how long they would have to wait to claim them, the benefits system is now so complex and subjective that before making a life changing decision such as this I would want to make it based on factual info.

One parent recieves both Austrlain and UK pension. The other parent is receiving a disability pension. Both have been to sick to work in Australia so I need to clarify if they will receive a proportion Australian pension if they return to the UK. One parent will continue to recieve the Uk pension and the other parent will be entitled to recieve the uk pension from next year, if they return to the uk.

 

However it appears that they will not be entitled to any low income benefits for 2 years as they will not pass the habitual test. Even though they have lived and worked most of their lives in the UK.

 

Does anyone one know a good legal firm that specialises in this area?

 

Thank you :)
