My husband has 2 years settlement Visa. I am a British citizen. We have 2 children (1 is a british citizen and another one has 2 years visa similar to my husband). My husband came to UK at end of 2012. When he came he was issued with 2 years settlement visa which expired but he could not apply for ILR at that time as he had lived in UK for less then 2 years. Due to this he was given visa extension for another 2 years. His visa will expire in 2017. He now can apply for ILR if he wants to or he can do it later once the visa ends in 2017.
My question is regarding the housing benefit claim and its affect of his ILR application in near future.
I am working full-time and in receipt of tax credit and child benefit. I was not aware about housing benefit until recently.I am trying to claim housing benefit as I have been told that I can claim around £800/month. Currently my husband is not working but I am certain that he will soon start working within 1-2 months. I will not be claiming anymore benefit once my husband starts working.
So, if I claim housing benefit now will this cause any problem when he applies for his ILR after 2 years?
Kindly enlighten me.
