I have recently received HSMP and also taken EC for myself. My family is not able to join immediately and are likely to join after a year. I have 2 children aged 16 and 11 years. If I apply for EC for my family after a year after I get my extension , what kind of problems I may have to encounter ?

I have been approved for hsmp and have taken the EC effective 15th June, my spouse and 2 children aged 16 and 12 are not planning to join me for at least 1 year due to education, disposal of property, please advise what kind of problems I am likely to encounter while applying for their EC after a ye...

I read on one of the forums that one is entitled to nhs treatment only if one has stayed for more than 12 months, or is allowed to stay more than 12 months, since hsmp allows only 12 months initially does it mean that hsmp people are not entitled to nhs treatment during the first year ??

dear friend jenny

i got my letter today so you will get it soon cheers

Thanks seinor friends and f2k It is now clear that family can join later, now the only clarification needed is whether i need to apply for EC for family along with mine or I should apply later, my family may join after about 6 to 9 months so should I apply for their EC only after about 6 months thanks

Absolutely not - your family can join you at any time during validity of your leave to remain. My family joined me only after I rented flat, registered for national insurance, doctor's etc etc. This way it is much less stressful, especially if you have children. Thanks for your reply, can you advis...
