Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what provision he plans to make for carers in the test for self-sufficiency for EU nationals applying for settled status.

There will be no test for self-sufficiency for those applying for settled status. As a matter of domestic policy, we have decided that the main requirement for eligibility under the EU Settlement Scheme will be continuous residence in the UK. Applicants will not need to demonstrate that they met the relevant requirements in the Free Movement Directive as to permitted activity.
