GE v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2017]

Residence for the initial 3 months and as a jobseeker counts towards the subsequent acquisition of a permanent right of residence under domestic UK law. Whether a claimant satisfies the right to reside test is assessed down to the date of the decision not as at the date of claim.
