flag Irish survivor loses housing benefits due to legal loophole on compensation.

flag Rosemary Adaser, a 70-year-old survivor of Irish mother and baby homes, faces losing £1,000 monthly in housing benefits if she accepts compensation from Ireland. flag A legal loophole treats foreign government payments as capital, disqualifying her from support, while her brother in Ireland receives the full amount without penalty. flag Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to pass "Philomena's Law" to protect survivors, but no legislative timeline or interim safeguards exist yet.
