The appeals concerned the question of whether ‘Zambrano carers’, who are non-EU citizens responsible for the care of an EU citizen child, are entitled to social assistance (that is, non-contributory welfare benefits) on the same basis as EU citizens lawfully resident here. Currently, Zambrano carers who are in need and unable to work receive benefits on a different and less generous basis, namely that on which social assistance is granted to third country nationals to whom the UK has not given unconditional leave to enter the UK or remain (i.e. leave without a restriction on access to public funds).
