URGENT HELP PLEASE !!!

Post by Rizviraja » Mon Apr 28, 2014 11:25 am

Hi, I was reading the posts in this forum and I have found very useful. I was wondering if someone could help me please. My wife is a EU citizen and I am non-EU citizen. We live in UK since 2008. My wife was working and now she is not working. But I am always working full time. Now we both have Permanent Residence card ( upon successful on EEA3 & EEA4). We have a daughter who is also an EU citizen. We all are planning to apply for naturalization for British Citizenship in about 10 months time. My questions are :

Am I eligible to claim Housing benefit & council tax rebate benefit?

If I ( non-EU citizen with permanent residence visa) apply for Housing benefit & Council Tax Rebate benefit, then will it affect my / our naturalization application/British citizenship?


Although I am working full time, but as my wife is not working at the moment, I find it really difficult to pay the rents/ bills. And that's why I really need the advice urgently. Please reply me in details as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

You may apply for benefit without issue (joint names) as you're both settled.

Hi Amber, thanks a lot for your very quick reply. I am sorry to ask you again as I am really unknown about the benefit/immigration laws. If I claim Housing benefit and Council Tax Rebate benefit, will it have any negative effect with our application for naturalization or British citizenship?

Thank you so much.
