It is far too complicated, on that we agree. From all the links it would seem that EU citizens are not entitled to benefits until they've worked and then it gradually increases until they get the benefits of any British Citizen.
I think they is an obsessive focus on benefits anyway. We seem obsessed with benefits and people taking advantage of it but in the larger benefit it's quite small. The largest expenses by far are pensions, elderly care and the NHS. However these are political nightmares so everyone focuses on benefits which seems an easy target.
I don't think leaving the EU will impact at all on benefits.
