Kaaka, you can claim it YES!!!
Technically, as he is domiciled in the UK, the fact of him going back to his country and marrying invalidates that marriage in the eyes of the UK law. If he HAD ALREADY been married before coming to the UK, that would have been ok as a polygamous marriage, but not in his case.
"Par.8
Under s.11(d) of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, polygamous marriages
contracted abroad can only be valid in English law if the conditions outlined
are met:
Par.2
For a foreign marriage to be valid in English law, the following conditions must
normally be fulfilled:
• The marriage ceremony must be recognised as a valid form of marriage by the
law of the place of celebration (mixed marriages and "common law" marriages
are sometimes excepted - see paragraphs 9-10 below)
• Each of the parties to the marriage must have the capacity, under the law of the
place where he or she is domiciled at the time of the marriage, to marry the other
party in the manner proposed (see DOMICILE)
• Any previous marriage of either party must first have been validly terminated in
the eyes of English law (but see par.
The marriage will
not be valid if either party is
domiciled:
•
in the UK; or
• in any other country whose law does not permit polygamous marriage"

The fact that he could probably HIDE the fact he's already married to an EEA national means he might never get "caught".
Kaaka, did you obtain your EEA nationality and card in any way based on your EEA wife? Do the UK authorities know about that EEA wife? If no, you can try bringing your 2of4 wife over and start milking the system dry, you can claim everything what the local UK scrounges claim without any sense of guilt, why should you, everyone else does it around legitimately, supported by the government!
I wish I could start this benefits lifestyle, may actually end up in a better/cheaper accommodation and devote myself to exploring life, why waste time on work?
Kaaka, please don't take it personally, I wish you and your family the best of luck in the UK, I am in general disappointed with the system here which breeds laziness (again, not meaning to insinuate it's you), lack of ambition and it's a matter of time when those who are working can not afford to support those on benefits through the ever increasing taxation etc, as the government is missing out on contributions of those families who could potentially work in the sense of tax contribution and productive contribution to the society and economy in general.
