FLR -exempt from the financial requirement

[jojochaachaa]

Hello everyone ,
we are just about to put in for our FLR application for further leave to remain for my husband this will go in in December , my Husband is working full time and we have just been awarded tax credits , and I am on standard rate pip for my health conditions, now heres the thing I have seen on my husbands passport no recourse to public funds , so I rang the tax credits to tell them and they cannot clarify if we can have them or not , we do not want to jeopardise his visa by breaching conditions , as I am on pip I Think we may be exempt from the financial requirement ? could anybody shed any light , as last time we had a solicitor who was truly awful


Many Thanks in advance


Jo

Marvellous Casa thank you the only thing I am worried about is they have just awarded us tax credits , and I DO not think we can have them as my husband has no recourse to public funds so i have asked them to stop it and we will pay back from the last month however it does not seem easy to do I am waiting from a call from them , nothing is easy

You are entitled to claim working tax credits without it affecting your husband's visa application, but as strange as it may seem, in order to claim correctly these must be claimed in joint names.

hello Casa would you happen to know also if I am allowed to get any help with housing and council tax even though my husband has no recourse , the one stop shop are saying yes because i am entitled as a british citizen however my husband is not allowed recourse to public funds , we are just about to do flr m so we do not want to mess this up at all ?
