THE Coalition has been accused by Ed Miliband of raising false expectations that migrants' rights to benefits can be restricted to reduce an expected influx of workers from Bulgaria and Romania in 2014.
Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said there would be a "further tightening up" of the rules, including the possibility of strengthening those on residency so that individuals would need to show they had a lease on a home "of nine-months to a year rather than just a matter of months" before being able to claim benefits.
