Hi. My daughter has been living and working overseas for 2 and 1/2 years now. She returns home for a month at xmas and 8 weeks in the summer but all her income is from overseas.She is returning to live in UK in July when her contract finishes.
She has recently been diagnosed with a mental health condition and may find it difficult to get a job here immediately on her return. She needs to stabilise her health issues and sort out medication but intends to return to work as soon as she is able.
She will be returning with an end of contract bonus of around £10,000 which she will be able to use as living expenses. Can she claim any benefits eg job seekers or housing benefit? She worked and paid NI and Income Tax up until September 2010 but nothing since.
