UK-based specialists helping British nationals who became EU residents before Brexit claim the benefits they remain legally entitled to.
Reginald Barry Benefits Support is a family-run business built around a single purpose: making sure Britain's Golden Generation — the retirees and pensioners who spent a lifetime paying into the UK system — receive every benefit they're entitled to, no matter where in the EU they now call home.
Time and again, we come across the same story: people who worked hard, paid their dues, and moved abroad to enjoy their retirement, without ever being told that many of their UK benefits could follow them. The barrier was never eligibility — it was awareness. The rules around pre-Brexit Withdrawal Agreement entitlements, and the exportability criteria that govern them, are genuinely difficult to navigate, and the people who need this help most are often the least equipped to battle DWP paperwork from abroad.
So that's our purpose: to raise awareness of exportability, reach as many people as possible who don't yet know what they're owed, and handle every part of the process ourselves — from the first conversation to the final decision — so our clients never have to face it alone. Our no-win-no-fee model means there's no financial risk in finding out.
Every successful claim means a real person, who has earned this, receiving support that genuinely changes their day-to-day life. That's the only reason this business exists.
When the UK left the European Union on 31 December 2020, many British nationals living in EU countries worried they would lose access to their UK benefits. For most benefits, those concerns were valid — but not for all of them.
Under the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement, British nationals who were living in an EU country before the Brexit transition ended retain specific rights — including the right to claim certain UK disability and care benefits, even while living abroad.
The most important of these is Attendance Allowance — a tax-free, non-means-tested benefit worth up to £5,959 per year for people aged 65 or over who need help with personal care or supervision due to illness or disability.
The key requirement: You must have established your EU residency before 31 December 2020 to be covered by the Withdrawal Agreement. If you moved to Spain (or another EU country) after that date, different rules apply and we will advise you accordingly.
This is a complex and often misunderstood area of benefit law. Many solicitors, financial advisers and even Citizens Advice advisers are not familiar with the specific exportability rules that apply to pre-Brexit expats. It is our entire focus.
We handle the entire process on your behalf — from your first eligibility check through to submitting your application to the DWP and chasing the decision. You do not need to deal with complex forms, DWP phone lines, or bureaucratic correspondence. We do all of that for you.
Here is what the process looks like:
Our Promise
No Win, No FeeNothing to pay upfront — and nothing at all if your claim isn't successful
There's no invoice and no upfront cost — so reaching out to find out where you stand costs you nothing, whatever the outcome.
That is a fair question and we respect it. Citizens Advice provides a valuable free service, and we would never discourage anyone from seeking free guidance.
However, there are three reasons why our clients choose to use us instead:
If you would prefer to try Citizens Advice first, we fully support that. Our door is open if you decide you would like specialist help.
