This should work the other way as well so UK born people claiming benefits in France should be claimed back from the UK by France.

Willow and I have looked into retirement in France and one incentive is that they get a higher state pension over there. Most of the retirement pension will still be paid from the UK but we would be entitled to a top-up IF we reside in France.
When I read the story re: immediate benefits, I wondered about all the Eastern Europeans that spend months in France awaiting the opportunity to sneak into the UK. Are the French paying them benefits while they wait in Calais? I seriously doubt it.
