Presumably it would be citizens rather than residents.

I'm not sure that would be legal, would it?

I think there was a test case in 2015 that said you could have tests that a resident was not there just to claim benefit, but I think the point was that it was illegal to just completely restrict a benefit to your own citizens.

It would probably be modeled the same way as social benefits are modeled. A mixed of citizenship and residency...
