Brexit: Action urged to preserve EU citizens' rights to benefits
Theresa May has said EU citizens in the UK will be able to stay even if Britain leaves the EU without a formal withdrawal deal. They would also keep their social security rights.

Its chair, Labour MP Harriet Harman, said:"We're talking about the rights of people who have resided in the UK for years, decades even, paying into our social security system or even having been born in the UK and lived here their whole lives.
