Thanks Greenie!
I'm getting HB on a single parent (with one child) rate. So its not a single person rate I think and thus could cause problems. I will ask council to change it to single person rate. Let's see if it works and my family gets ILR without any trouble, we still have 19 months to go.

Casa, I agree, but it is highly likely that the same points will be awarded for a single parent with one child, compared to a couple and one child. So it probably will make no difference if the spouse on a time-limited visa is excluded. Looking at para 6A of the Immigration Rules, a Council House w...

What about housing benefits in ops conditions?

Greenie, john and other experts I really need to know if its ok for me to keep getting HB and CTB when my wife and daughter have no recourse to public funds restriction on their 2 years visa as they will be applying for ILR in future. I hope you don't mind me asking this again as I'm still not clear...

So is it not ok for me to get housing benefit and ctb as my daughter does nt have ILE and have 'no recourse to public funds' restriction on her visa?

My daughter visa type is '' TO ACC MOTHER '' and has same expiry as her mother visa which is spouse visa. Both have no recourse to public funds

Housing Benefit (and indeed Council Tax Benefit) .... OK for you to claim, but only you plus the two British children should be taken into account in calculating the amount of the benefit payable.
