<strong>Social</strong> security benefits that do not depend<br />

on NICs<br />

Your right to any of the benefits listed on pages 23 to 28 does not<br />

depend on your NICs record, but if you are getting any of these<br />

benefits in the UK, you must tell the office paying your benefit or<br />

your nearest Jobcentre Plus office before you leave the country.<br />

You may be able to continue getting benefit <strong>abroad</strong> in some<br />

cases. If you are going to an EEA country or Switzerland or one of<br />

the countries where special arrangements have been made (see<br />

pages 2 and 3) you will need to go to www.direct.gov.uk for<br />

up­to­date information. The rules below apply if you are going to<br />

any other part of the world.<br />

If you are moving permanently to a country outside the EEA,<br />

Switzerland, Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, you will no longer<br />

be entitled to Attendance Allowance. If you are going <strong>abroad</strong><br />

temporarily for less than 26 weeks, you can continue getting<br />

Attendance Allowance. This period can be longer if the purpose of<br />

your visit is to get medical treatment for your disability. For more<br />

information go to www.direct.gov.uk<br />
