A timely question. We raised the funding issue when we met with the UK Europe minister on 6 May 2025. His reply indicated that there had been no change in UK government policy since the last election. We will continue to raise it but for now we are once again dependent on donations.

Sorry, link that should work here www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih9E...

As part of our toolbox for rights we asked our volunteer advocates to discuss the types of cases and issues that arose, the WA and Charter articles that were most relevant in their work, and outcomes. See what they had to say in the video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZBp...

We put out a statement just in case any UK policymakers are interested in knowing our thoughts on the matter bsky.app/profile/brit...

Backed up by our practical experience in the WA negotiations and cases we have dealt with across the 11 country groups involved in the project, it is the first legal report of its kind focusing on WA implementation for the 1.2 million UK WA beneficiaries in the EU and issues that have arisen.

Thank you Tanya!

We also asked UK WA beneficiaries in the EU about their awareness of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and how it could help them to access your WA rights and find remedies where their rights may have been breached. Most were well informed but again, there were gaps in knowledge

Brexit stripped 1.2 million UK citizens in the EU of fundamental rights. BIE has argued since the start of implementation for more information and awareness campaigns for WA beneficiaries in the EU about their rights. This is an obligation for member states under Article 37 of the WA.

Worryingly, 40% of respondents were unclear on their future pension rights as WA beneficiaries

There are some gaps in knowledge that may be impacting access to rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. Awareness of rights to social security is a concern
