    You haven't asked about any specific rights but you have the same rights as UK citizens in terms of benefits, employment, tuition fees etc.

    The right to pay tuition fees :mrgreen: Soon to be £10000/year... I know a lot of British who would like to get rid of this "right".

    With you daughter you should be able to claim for Child Benefit. You will find information on the HM Revenue and Customs website.

    I quote from the website:
    You shouldn't worry about tuition fees for the baby right now, but it may apply to you as they are fees to pay to go to University. In a nutshell, Tony Blair's government set up very controversial fees up to £3000/year to attend university 5 years ago and they are now going to be raised up to £9000/y by the new British government.
