I didn't get any benefits because to walk into a government office and register for them would have been a ticket to the lockup. When you're living somewhere illegally, you don't tend to walk into government offices on a regular basis by choice. Yeah, I shouldn't have been there but I was and it was a risk and at the time staying here was not an option so it was worth the stretch. An easy life it isn't though.

I never thought living in Surrey was a good idea either....
