Summary: Social security co-ordination matters for Scotland because, even though the United Kingdom (UK) has left the European Union (EU), provisions in the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement mean that co-ordination will apply for at least several decades into the future. These provisions largely mirror those of the current EU Co-ordinating Regulations. They will apply to most UK-wide benefits and several of Scotland’s devolved social security benefits. This briefing explains what EU social security co-ordination is, who and which benefits are covered, and the four basic principles which underpin the system. It is the first in a series of three briefings on Scottish social security and Brexit being produced under the Parliament's academic fellowship scheme. |
