A benefit claimant's duty is to comply with the instructions in the order book. A disclosure which would be thought necessary only by a literal-minded pedant need not be made, but the safest course is to resolve doubts in favour of disclosure.

"It is well settled that responsibility for keeping the Department informed of any change in a claimant's circumstances rests and remains upon the claimant . ." and ". . To whom is there this obligation to disclose? We are concerned here with breaches of the obligation which have the consequence that expenditure is incurred by the Secretary of State; and, in our view, the obligation is to disclose to a member or members of the staff of an office of the Department handling the transaction giving rise to the expenditure . . We accept that a claimant cannot be expected to identify the precise person or persons who have the handling of his claim. His duty is best fulfilled by disclosure to the local office where his claim is being handled, either in the claim form or otherwise in terms that make sufficient reference to his claim to enable the matter disclosed to be referred to the proper person . . But . . there can be other occasions when the duty can be fulfilled by disclosure elsewhere. This can happen, for instance, if an officer in another office of the Department of Health and Social Security or local unemployment benefit office accepts information in circumstances which make it reasonable for the claimant to think the matters disclosed will be passed on to the local office in question."

A directory referred to in a statutory instrument had not itself There was no legal flaw in a statutory instrument which fixed the amount of benefits by reference to a directory separately published by the Secretary of State.

Lord Mackenzie Stuart, P
European, Benefits
European law draws a distinction between member state nationals who have not yet entered into an employment relationship in the host member state where they are looking for work and those who are already working in that state or who, having worked there but no longer being in an employment relationship, are nevertheless considered to be workers.
'the rights guaranteed to migrant workers do not necessarily depend on the actual or continuing existence of an employment relationship'.
