During the Implementation Period the Government will be negotiating a future relationship with the EU. As set out in the Political Declaration published on 19 October 2019, both Parties have agreed to consider addressing social security coordination in the light of future movement of persons.

The Withdrawal Agreement provisions on social security coordination will apply to those in scope of that agreement.
