Our twins have dual nationality, so opening bank accounts for their ESA / DLA / PIP to be paid into was a nightmare.

No UK passports, just French ID's. 2 banks refused to accept them. No utility bills as they live with us. No previous bank accounts. NI cards, Birth Certificates and letters from ESA / DLA / PIP eventually did the trick at the third bank. But they still wanted letters from the French Consulate in London validating their status. And those letters weren't cheap to get hold of!

So why has a judge ruled against immigration status checks for renting homes? From ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!
