Hi all, I’m in a dilemma and I need help. My husband is on a spousal visa which expires in August 2019. He works full time and earns 16000 before tax per annum. However I, a british citizen have claimed for tax credit(in joint names but I am the main applicant) and also child benefits and housing b...

If your new job is less than 16 hours a week, you'll still stay on legacy benefits and not transferred over to UC, but most likely your HB will be reduced or zeroed. Which is why he should do a benefits check based on Universal Credit as there is no sudden drop in the Housing benefit element on UC ...

Some are better off on Universal Credit amd you might find you are one of these.There is no cliff edge drop in benefits under the new system as the taper is in a workering claimants (those who wants to work) favour. On UC they claim monthly and UC is based on what earning you are paid that month, so...

however I do not need any benefit but we are looking for benefit only for our child so please help me in this scenario. Reading what I have put again, this might make it clearer. There is no benefit for a child because parents keep their children. If they parents are low income, they ask for help t...

I am on spouse visa and my wife has ILR, We have only child who is British, after her birth we come to know that there are certain benefits which our daughter can have and its her right as a British citizen. After 7-8 month of her birth, my wife applied for child benefit and they approved the child...

I'm currently recieving JSA and Housing benefit and I found a zer-hour job (minimum wage) so if I accept the job and transfer to Universal Credit, will I lose the housing benefit? Housing Benefit is a low income benefit and so is it's replacement Universal Credit. Some people find they are better o...

I spoke with an immigration lawyer and they told me since he is British and receives the funds that i would click no to claiming public funds. Since he is the one who made the claim, and receives the funds. Hope this helps anyone who runs into this issue. You made a joint claim, not just your husba...

they made us claim jointly.

If your husband did not claim that old type of benefit jointly, he would have been committing benefit fraud because he has a partner that he lives with.

NHS England The National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 and Guidance on overseas visitors hospital charging regulations 2017 outline the following services in the NHS which are currently free of charge irrespective of country of normal residence (as long ...

Under present rules, treatment in A&E is free, but that treatment for free is very limited and is only the cheap stuff. The expensive healthcare is billed - stay on a ward, operation, post care, etc. If there is no insurance to pay the NHS, then as said, 50% is added to his bill. Sadly you made ...

So what is the correct answer?? As you are the one whose visa is at stake, why don't you decide. UK Visas and Immigration guidance for how it makes decisions about what UK public funds foreign nationals can claim and what action it must take if they claim funds they are not entitled to. https://www...

Hi there, I am asking this question for a friend, an EU national. She has been living in this country with her two children, 9 and 3, for some time now and with her partner, who is self-employed. The partner isn't her husband or the father of the children but they have been living as a family and r...

she can only work during school hours anyway - and she can work the amount of hours that she can get childcare for - because not all nurseries provide more than the 3 hours per day... Or you can work when your partner is at home to - collect your children from school/in the evenings or weekends. Th...

Can anyone answer if the situation would have been different if she was married to her partner? Both of them are EU citizens, from the same country. With a partner it is a joint claim and if agreed they was entitled to income based benefits from the UK, the requirerment for her to work would still ...

My question was more about how she can be classified as not living in the UK if she's actually living here. This rule did not apply to the old system of benefits. It did, but they never checked before whether they had a right to have UK benefits- and now they do. Even those on benefits on ILR are n...

She can work, and in the UK she is expected to work when her youngest child is age 1 if she cannot afford to keep her children and needs benefits. How about that: Will I need to look for work to receive Universal Credit? This will depend on your circumstances. If you have a child who is under the a...

Double post. Oh no, lost my original post Short answer, nothing much, you are both expected to earn at least 70 hours a week on the national minimum wage between you.

It might be helpful.

That letter confirms what the OP already knew, because they have no recourse to public funds-

"child benefit cannot be claimed by persons who are subject to immigration control."

I'll leave it to somebody else to tell you if she can claim benefits from the UK. But as you can see, on UK benefits they have to work, unless their partner keeps them.

What country does her partner hold citizenship of?

two children, 9 and 3 She's worked up until late in 2018, when the children arrived to live with them. is treated as a jobseeker although she can't practically look for a job or work as the child is too young Where have her children been living before they came to to the UK on 2018? Has she looked ...

I have contacted my local MP and they're looking into it but so far they've given me generic info which I already know.

If you put the wording of the refusal letter up, people on here will be able to give the same information you have already been given on the other site.

No and no. Remember that if you claim tax credits it MUST be claimed in JOINT names with your spouse. Remember also that for her extension you have to meet all the same financial requirements again and benefits cannot be used to show this. Hi, first of all sorry to bother you, I would like to ask y...
