Re: Is an ESOL course considered public fund?

It looks like you may have to be receiving a benefit to undertake the course? Eg to be fully funded, have you spoken to the provider about eligibility?

Re: Eligibility for Child Benefits as a British Citizen earning abroad with a Working Spouse on Skilled Worker Visa

Assuming your partner is subject to immigration control, eg no recourse to public funds restriction, then your partner cannot claim child benefit. In terms of you applying for child benefit, you must be ordinarily resident in the UK, although not defined in legislation, it can be complex, to underst...

Re: DLA Claim for Child still under visa by parent with ILR status

DLA is a public fund, as such your child must not be subject to immigration control eg their BRP must not say “no recourse to public funds”. In terms of child benefit, it’s potential that you claiming child benefit could breach the child’s no recourse to public funds restriction, as public funds are...

Re: Is ILR settled status?

Settled status is indefinite leave to enter/remain. Pre-settled status is limited leave to remain under the EU settlement scheme. Benefit entitlement depends on (a) your immigration status and (b) eligibility conditions for the specific benefit.

Re: Child Benefit while on pre-settled status (EU scheme)

The child should obtain status under the EUSS but it isn’t a requirement to get child benefit (that’s based on parent’s status).

Re: Child benefit claim by mistake

Why are you not eligible? It shouldn’t be approved if you are subject to immigration control. You can contact HMRC child benefit helpline on 0300 200 3100 to withdraw a claim.

That template says, where applicable, so you can include it, for example, it may be applicable if you were a registered offender who needs to report name changes to the police.

When you can backdate You can only backdate your claim if you have a good reason - for example a close relative died or you were given wrong advice by the Jobcentre.

You can claim UC as you’re British, it should not effect your wife’s settlement insofar as no additional benefits are paid in respect of her, assuming you will not have other tenants on the tenancy but for you and your wife, that should be ok.

Re: Spouse Visa Application (ILR) - No Public Recourse help

If you are British/settled then it’s fine if you claim PIP and will not affect your spouse’s application. In fact, it’s an exception to the general financial requirement for a spouse visa.
