EU NATIONALS could be denied citizenship after being “caught out” by a requirement that they were not informed of during the application process, a campaign group has warned. 

Thousands of EU citizens who have spent huge sums on applications for permanent residency are in danger of rejection because they did not submit evidence of having taken out comprehensive sickness insurance (CSI). 

Earlier this month, the Home Office finally clarified that EU citizens would need to include CSI to prove that they had been in the country legally during any periods of unemployment.
