Article summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has published guidance for EU full-time students studying in the UK, who are considering applying for a reimbursement of the immigration health surcharge (IHS). The guidance includes information on who can apply, how much IHS reimbursement will be received and what qualifies as ‘work’. It also explains how to access healthcare in the UK during studies after the IHS reimbursement is received. While the Brexit transition/implementation period ended at 11 pm on 31 December 2020 (IP completion day), the government continues to issue new and updated Brexit webpages and guidance documents on the associated legal and practical changes.
