Re: moving back to england after 13 years
I do not believe that you will be able to claim benefits. I moved back to England from Australia in 1999 and went with my partner (who was British, and had only been away less than a year) when he went to sign on.
Whilst I was there, I enquired about the job boards and they told me to sign on for unemployment. I didn't think I would be eligible but they said to sign on, so I did. I went down the first time for the sign on interview and then had a letter come out to say I was not eligible as I had not been a resident in England long enough. Fair enough, I found a job within a week from looking at their job boards anyway.
