There are couple points you make that I disagree with, but that would turn this into a different thread, so I shall refrain. :-)
Every point I made was fact. As allowed under EU law, since 2010 the UK has steadly been changing what an EU qualified person is in the UK. Also since 2010, the UK deport and ban EEA citizens and their family it they find they don't have a right to reside in the UK. Only EU
qualifed persons are allowed to reside in the UK with their family, under EU treaty rights.
From 2010, student qualified persons had no right to UK benefits anymore and they now needed a comprehensive sickness policy to pay the NHS; the same for self sufficient quaified persons but it also included all their family now needing a CSI to pay the NHS, even if the non-EU was in work.
EU workers had their status defined to, must be in work each week and earn a set amount to be worker qualified person. While the EU citizens is in work,they have a right to reside in the UK; and can have free NHS for themselves and their family and some UK benefits after 3 months but those are getting reduced from April 2016.
Even those who tried to claim they are a self sufficient qualified person as their non-EU was working, have lost their fight in court if they didn't arrive with savings. The courts have ruled that to be a self sufficient person they had to have savings when they arrived. If they didn't have savings then they weren't a self sufficient qualified person and therefore their non EU partner had no right to work in the UK - so they can't use that money.
Some more amendments to EEA regulations in the UK came in April 2015 to Self Employed Qualified Person:which meant many EEA self employed have now lost their right to reside in the UK with their family; to free NHS for them and their family; and they have/will lose, all UK benefits including child related and housing.
The Self Employed Qualified Person route was used to get free NHS for all the family and UK benefits, even if they only made a few pounds a week from their self employment and now the UK have closed that. If they had claimed treaty rights in the UK as a Self Suffient qualified person instead, to allow their non-EU to work, the whole family would need to buy comprehensive sickness insurance and there would be no access to any UK benefits (plus they needed to arrive with savings).
The removal of free NHS from the dependants of EEA Student Qualified Persons was brought in June 2015. They too now need to buy insurance to pay their NHS bills.
Thinking that having an EU passport and then moving the family to the UK to get "
the same as UK citizens" really
is a myth. There is a thread on here somewhere where they too thought that, but were shocked to receive a letter telling them they had no right to reside in the UK when they applied for child related benefits. Think about it, if what you thought was true then most of the EU citiizens would have moved to the western and northern EEA countries.
