I am British and wife is on FLR(m). Wife came to uk on 12 Jan and I applied for flr(m) on march 2014. Is the benefits effect her application of ILR on SET (m).
Will really appreciate if someone can advice me in the right direction.
I applied for Working tax Credit and in my bank Stat it shows as Child tax credit.Casa wrote:Under what grounds have you been given a Council tax discount and when you claimed housing benefit did you tell the authorities that your wife is not permitted to claim Public funds?
The Housing benefit can only be calculated by disregarding your wife in the household. i.e you as a single person and your child. You will have a problem if it has been awarded as a couple + child. You haven't mentioned how you were awarded a discount on your Council tax? Hopefully you didn't claim single person discount.aakkoo wrote:I applied for Working tax Credit and in my bank Stat it shows as Child tax credit.Casa wrote:Under what grounds have you been given a Council tax discount and when you claimed housing benefit did you tell the authorities that your wife is not permitted to claim Public funds?
I applied Online for Housing benefit and filled all the details correctly mentioning mine and wife status.
I have to confirm but I think mine and my wife name appears on the Housing benefit letter.
I will get back to you once reach home and get the correct info. One thing is confirmed there is only my name is mentioned on the Housing benefit Award letter. I am not sure is it single or couple discount of council tax I will get back to you.

Wanted to confirm my wife should not be receiving either HB and CT. if she has received HB or CT i can withdraw her name and pay the excess.Casa wrote:It would be wise to check with the Council whether they have included your wife in the allowance for Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support.
I understand that you are applying under 'adequate maintenance' (pre-July 2012 rules) rather than the £18,600 minimum income level. You can include HB and CT in your calculation, but if you had clicked on Vinny's link you will see that you need to show:aakkoo wrote:Wanted to confirm my wife should not be receiving either HB and CT. if she has received HB or CT i can withdraw her name and pay the excess.Casa wrote:It would be wise to check with the Council whether they have included your wife in the allowance for Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support.
