My wife's cousin (along with hubby and kid) immigrated to England during the previous decade. They live in an apartment in London. When she gets some free time, I can ask her what benefits she received as a non-EU immigrant.
Non-EU nationals who immigrate to the UK generally don't have any benefits. That's why the Brits have no issues with non-EU immigrants in general.

The EU immigrants have had access to the following:

Working tax credit
Child tax credit
Child benefit
Housing benefit

thus Brexiteers have pointed to this as one of the major benefits if the UK leaves the EU.
