As I have said a number of times before on this board, the form is badly designed. It asks a very specific question about whether Public Funds are being claimed, and then lists a number of benefits that may or may not be within the definition. Hmmm!
Let's just recap, firstly the Introduction part of the immigration rules :-
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... troduction
That includes para 6, a list of definitions, including the definition of Public Funds. Just reading that benefits such as Child Benefits and Tax Credits are within the definition of Public Funds.
Is that the end of the story? No! Now go to the bottom of that wepagee. After Para 6 there are paras 6A to 6C. See that both 6A and 6B use the words "not to be regarded as having (or potentially having) recourse to public funds" or "shall not be regarded as having recourse to public funds".
This is all very technical!
For example, Tax Credits! We need to delve into the Tax Credits (Immigration) Regulations 2003 :-
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003 ... 653_en.pdf
-: and in particular reg 3(2) which says that where one of a couple is not subject to immigration control and the other one is subject to immigration control, then the claim for Tax Credits shall be determined as if both were not subject to immigration control.
So how to complete the badly designed form? Up to you but maybe answer Q5.5 "No", but for maybe for safety use section 8B of the form, some "white space" to explain something like :-
Because of paras 6A and 6B of the Immigration Rules benefits being claimed are not within the definition of Public Funds. However I confirm that my husband is claiming Child Benefit, and we jointly claim Tax Credits.
_; or something like that.
Does that help?
I shall let others comment upon "also at that time do I have to show minimum income for her again. like 12 months bank statement with income".
