Government sources said 770,000 universal credit claimants who are EU citizens would be exempt from the change. Estimates from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford put the total population of non-EU citizens with ILR at 430,000 at the end of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>What does \u201cBoriswave\u201d mean? \u25ba https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2025\/sep\/23\/what-does-boriswave-mean-nigel-farage-reform-uk-immigration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c800,000 people are due to qualify for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) over the course of the next few years.
