Claiming benefits that you are 'entitled to' wont affect your BC after 12 months

Apply it yourself, it's much easier

Be careful and send everything recorded with a pre paid return special delivery envelope. My passport never came back from DVLA when I applied for it 4 years back

Totally depends on the company to company. Starts at about 21k

Looks like you are posting this topic in every category. As mentioned earlier do not risk it as you are nearing your ILR. Soyou are thinking to replace your bank statements etc with the volunteering certificate and thinking you might get away with?

That are quite strong views but to some extend very true

This document is correct. The year when calculating days in always counted like that.

Why is financial year in most of the places are from 1st April to 31st March?

Details of volunteering?

Read it this morning. Absolute shocker, specially when you pay such a hefty fee to apply for the visa.

Have you got your ILR? If you havent got it yet, you should not have recourse to public funds. Advise to apply only after you secure your ILR.

Speak to student loans company and they will tell you if you are eligible to apply as a permanent resident

The only problem with UK is the uncertainty for people who have not got permanent residence status or British Passports as immigrations rules changes every third month and it is a torture for people to keep extending their visas. You cannot plan your life here as it will take good 10 years for you t...
