Was your (deceased) stepfather born a British citizen?

Have been dreaming for twelve years now of friends and family being able to come and visit without the hassle (and cost!) of the visa, and now that it's here, it almost feels too good to be true! Just in time for the UK's new Elecotronic Authorisation Scheme At present, certain cohorts of people do...

This the government calulator for the Warm Home Discount Scheme. https://www.check-warm-home-discount-eligibility.service.gov.uk/region/?Id=59RHUY6S If you receive the letter from the DWP, you can enter "no" when prompted on the calculator, to see if your letter is likely one of their erro...

If you get the Winter Fuel Payment letter from the DWP, make sure you are allowed to take the WFP. And if you get the Winter Fuel payment given to you, make sure you are allowed to take this payment; especially if you are No Recourse to Public Funds. TYPO This should say Warm Home Discount.

As the new WHD in England is particularly confusing I’ve created a sticky thread which explains how the new scheme will work - https://www.immigrationboards.com/claiming-benefits/warm-home-discount-2022-t334229.html The government have now confirmed that the Winter Fuel Payment is a Public Fund. Wh...

Which welfare benefits are you claiming?

We got the letter from the council and I claimed the money from the post office. You do not need to apply for the Warm Home Discount. You’ll be paid automatically by your energy supplier.

So taking the ‘Warm Home Discount’ is fine without affecting her visa?

Is it a public fund?

It doesn't say it is a public fund but I am not an immigration expert/solicitor. I'm only reading what you are reading.

NRPF say it is NOT a public fund and neither is it on the list of public funds for immigration purposes. Nor is it listed as subject to immigration control under Eligbility https://www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme One of the requirements is being in receipt of low income welfare benefits; a...

Which is what I thought in my first post on here. Your wife is on your joint Tax Credit claim and for that old (legacy) benefit, she could take TC payments with a partner who can have public funds; and you could take the second adult element payment for your NRPF partner. Yes correct, just wonderin...

Hi guys, yes I am British and Wife has NRPF. We have a joint child/working tax credit claim. I claim child benefit alone. The warm home discount letter is addressed to me but since my partner is the account holder for the electric/gas bill, the discount can be applied to her under the new Group 2 r...

He did not say that. He said his wife was NRPF. As explained above, she could be on public funds if on the old (legacy) benefit called Tax Credit and they have a child, as that was allowed. Or the OP could be on welfare benefits. What he did say was not to his wife. Not sure what you read. [/ Just ...

What you can't tell me, is what I'm on. I don't get any sorta benefits whatsoever. I don't mean that in a horrible way, but you can't seem to know how this things operate to the letter. You might have an idea, but sometimes, they colour out of the box! FYI, I have a few friends and family in the sa...

And just to add, as normal, the Warm Home Discount money from the government will still be paid via the supplier AND that supplier must still be willing to particiape in this scheme. Not all engery suppliers will participate. With previous years, the energy supplier is given a limited number of thes...

Nope it wouldn't. This isn't exactly a public fund. It's some kind of electricity rebate. No it's not. The £400 (split into 6 payments of about £66 per month for 6 months) and the low kWh rate is the cost of living electric rebate. Warm Home Discount is for those who live in poverty. This year, the...

3)She is claiming benefits and not working. 4)she met a new partner dating the website Indian International Student and married in Masjid in June 2022. ... He's working a part-time cash-in-hand job.
