Did you mean that you can take benefits without your residency being affected? Very large difference in meaning.pantelis6 wrote:Hi,please i need realy help..I'am a Greek EU citizen I'am married to my wife she is none EU from Lebanon, we came to the UK 20 Feb 2003 At that time we had 1 year old boy, my wife came with 1 year EEA family permit,after she entered the UK we sent our papers to HO and we were issed 5 years EEA permit..
Now time to renew or apply for a family permit but my main issue is , i worked all these 5 years but the last 2 and a half years iam working partime and iam claiming housing benefit CTC/WTC and child benefit since we came to the countrey now we have 8 months old boy, i never stoped working but only partime i make £10000 a year
My wife never worked and we claimed all these benefits we didnt have any problem, I was checking the HO website under EUROPEAN case work under public funds as the mention a part time worker or low income people can take benefit with their residency being effected
So please now we are going to apply for EEA3 and EEA 4 I do have 5 years of employment but getting these benefits will affect my wies's permenant residense??
