Who is considered self-sufficient person?

There is no requirement that your needs are met solely from your own resources, they could be met by family or friends, or from a work pension, or some combination of these. Even if you have very few resources, if you are managing without claiming mean-tested benefits, you are likely to be considered 'self-sufficient'.

Who is self-sufficent?

You are a self-sufficient EEA national with a right to reside if:

you entered the UK before 1 January 2021; and

you make (or have already made) an application to the EU Settlement Scheme before 1 July 2021; and you can meet your own needs for accommodation and maintenance without receiving UK social assistance; and

you have comprehensive sickness insurance.

The only benefits that count as UK social assistance are the means-tested benefits: universal credit, housing benefit, income support, income-related employment support allowance, income-based jobseeker's allowance and council tax rebate. But claiming one of these does not automatically disqualify you as being self-sufficient – your personal circumstances must be considered (such as the amount of the award, your reasons for claiming and how long you are likely to be claiming for etc.). For example, if you have been resident for a number of years and never claimed until now, and you have claimed because your funds have been temporarily disrupted you might continue to be self-sufficient for the time being. There is no requirement that your needs are met solely from your own resources, they could be met by family or friends, or from a work pension, or some combination of these. Even if you have very few resources, if you are managing without claiming mean-tested benefits, you are likely to be considered ‘self-sufficient’.

You meet the requirement for comprehensive sickness insurance if:

you were issued with a European Health Insurance Card in your home country together with a letter (called a statement of intent) confirming that you do not intend to stay in the UK permanently; or

you have private comprehensive sickness insurance; or

(in certain circumstances) you receive an invalidity or retirement pension from your home country (i.e. the EEA member state you migrated from). For more information about your rights to a pension from your home state or the UK, see the Europa (Your Europe) website or contact the AIRE centre.

What are the 4 elements of self?

Keeping the four elements, which are the four parts of self in balance, is fundamental to well being. These elements are emotional, physical, mental and spiritual.

Keeping the four elements, which are the four parts of self in balance, is fundamental to well being. These elements are emotional, physical, mental and spiritual.

Emotional

Understanding feelings is essential in maintaining emotional balance. It isn’t always possible to feel positive, but recognising negative emotions such as fear, anger or sadness can help us to cope more easily. One thing that is helpful is to try to respond to feelings rather than to react to them.

Physical

A healthy body requires the proper nourishment. Eating healthily and exercising protects us against illness and disease. When your diet isn’t healthy, it can reduce resistance to disease, making it harder to maintain personal balance.

Mental

Never stop learning! Learning new activities and especially those requiring logic and analytical thinking helps to sharpen your mind. Additionally, learning is fun and can increase self-confidence and joy.

Spiritual

When you are in touch with your spiritual side, it can bring a sense of peace. Many people find praying or meditating, or even merely expressing gratitude for life is helpful in maintaining personal balance. The feeling of connecting to a higher power aids inner harmony, nourishing your soul. When you make a conscious effort to nourish these four elements, then it can bring a sense of peace and purpose to life.
