' These changes include a requirement for 12 months' current permission, adjustments to the qualifying period, continuous residence requirements, and knowledge of English and Life in the UK.
✔️ While easing settlement for some, particularly students with high absences, they disadvantage those relying on periods of residence, especially EU citizens.
