Duncan Smith set to scrap automatic eligibility for benefits
The Express reports that the Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, is set to make life tougher for migrants before they can claim benefits. Mr Duncan Smith is planning to scrap any automatic eligibility for hand-outs and wants to ensure that no new arrivals to the UK can receive money until they have paid into the welfare system for up to a year. The plans are a snub to the EU, which last week confirmed it was taking legal action against the UK for "discrimination" after the introduction of a residency test for certain welfare payments.
