Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, says applicants must now spend five continuous years off benefits before they can settle. The Home Office estimates about 500,000 people will wait longer than five years under the new rules. Care workers earning at least £25,000 who joined the route before May 2025 can settle after five years, down from the 15 first proposed.
