A little dated, but here's the story -

More than a million claimants were born overseas, including around 700,000 EU citizens who arrived in the UK before Brexit and have the right to live and work in the UK.
Around 1.5% of claimants were refugees and 0.7% had arrived in the UK via safe routes such as those for Ukrainians and Afghans.
More than 75,000 claimants who are in the UK temporarily and would typically not be able to receive benefits are also claiming UC.
The Department for Work and Pensions has said most foreign nationals can claim only after five years residency, but there are exceptions such as for victims of modern slavery.
Funny how Labourites (UK Lefties) champion immigration and how it benefits our workforce. Sadly, the figures don't support their argument, whatsoever.
