What benefit can I claim after getting ILR

Post by Immigrant101 » Sun Oct 18, 2015 10:34 am

Hi,
I have recently been given ILR while my wife is still on T2 Main Applicant visa. I understand that she can not claim any benefits but what benefits can I claim as I have UK born children.

What you can claim is dependent on your circumstances, i.e salary etc.

If you claim child benefits, this MUST be in YOUR Name only.

If you claim tax credits (child/working), this MUST be in JOINT names with your spouse.

Below is a link to a benefits calculator, complete it as if you are British.
