If you get contribution based ESA and your wife has earnings that take you over the income based ESA levels, then the Social Fund cannot give you a loan. You are not being penalised because you have worked but because your total family income exceeds income based ESA levels. If you had never paid a penny in NI and tax and your wife had high enough earnings you still would not get income based ESA nor loans from the Social Fund. As far as EU nationals are concerned, in an EU country you get what their citizens would get - hence the tv programmes about people on holiday in Spain accessing free Spanish healthcare.
