http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/37343[/QUOTE]I think £28 million is an underestimate. You have to take into consideration the difference in the cost of living between Eastern Europe and the UK,every £100 sent to Eastern Europe is the equivilant of around £300 in the UK.
Any benefits sent to their home countries should be based on the cost of living in their home countries, there are reports that child benefits are being used to pay mortgages on property investments.
