Sorry, You are working in another country but your family are at home , say Poland. They should recieve benifit from the home country and not the emloyer country of the husband or partner. This means that they are indeed getting paid twice and on payment say from the UK is not the same exchange rate as Poland. Somthing a miss here. EU gone mad gain.

OK, here is the question. Doesn’t the AG’s opinion run contrary to the decision in the Hosse case:

“The ECJ ruled that the grant of sickness benefits should not be conditional on the residence of the members of the worker’s family in the Member State of the place of employment, so as not to deter Community workers from exercising their right to freedom of movement. It would therefore be contrary to the Regulation 1408/71 to deprive the daughter of a worker of a benefit she would be entitled to if she were resident in that Member State.”
