Just under 30,000 families are claiming child benefits and tax credit for offspring who live outside the UK but within the European Union, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Poland is home to the highest number of children in the region who are receiving benefits claimed in the UK with more than half the total, 25,659, receiving welfare.

The figures were disclosed by Treasury minister Sajid Javid in a written answer to Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee.

Mr Vaz said: "I am very surprised at this figure. Most people would consider it wrong for people to receive child benefit when the children are living abroad permanently."
On December 31 there were 24,082 ongoing child benefit awards in respect of 40,171 children living in the European Economic Area, Mr Javid revealed.

Unbelievable but true quotes Tomcatwarne.

This is a different issue. The money sent is from workers earnings, and not given in state benefits as in England.

Does this surprise you? We had the same problem in Germany with migrant workers since the end of WWII. Unlike the Swiss, we gave and still give migrant workers unlimited contracts and the same rights to benefits as citizens. This is really a very involved topic.
