Judgment_paragraph 13 · Chief Adjudication Officer v Anne Maria Twomey (C-215/90)

13It should be noted first of all that, as the Court has consistently held, the definition of the concept of ‘worker’ in Article 1(a) of Regulation No 1408/71 has a general scope and covers any person having the status of a person insured under the social security legislation of one or more Member States, whether or not pursuing a professional or trade activity (see inter alia the judgment in Case 182/87 Algemene Ziekenfonds Drentbe-Platteland v Pierik [1979] ECR 1977, at paragraph 4). Mrs Twomey does have the status of a person insured under the legislation of the United Kingdom, inasmuch as she would be entitled to sickness benefit if she resided in the United Kingdom.
