Hi tanx for suggestion ,,,,so nice of you
Just to clearify that the HB have been claimed by my wife who is British citizen but as HB rules the applicable amount calculated is couple instead of single ...
Now to yur first question I think it wud be better wait n watch rather than panicking and go to council as the council have done nothing wrong NEITHER did I (only if I was the main claimaimt ) BUT again trick I can't be until the HB officer is HIGH
while procession the claim
Now I came across the very interesting information plz MODERATORS Read below
Applicants applying on the basis of family life as a partner, parent or child under Appendix FM, and on the basis of private life under paragraph 276ADE(1) of the Immigration Rules are not subject to the General Grounds for Refusal, except for the provisions in paragraph 320(3), (10) and (11) which continue to apply to applications under Appendix FM as set out in the General Grounds for Refusal under Part 9 of the Immigration Rules.
In addition to the suitability criteria that an applicant must meet under Appendix FM, the following general grounds for refusal must be considered:
320(3) failure by the person seeking entry to the United Kingdom to produce to the Immigration Officer a valid national passport or other document satisfactorily establishing his identity and nationality;
320(10) production by the person seeking entry clearance to the United Kingdom of a national passport or travel document issued by a territorial entity or authority which is not recognised by Her Majesty's Government as a state or is not dealt with as a government by them, or which does not accept valid United Kingdom passports for the purpose of its own immigration control; or a passport or travel document which does not comply with international passport practice; and
320(11) where the applicant has previously contrived in a significant way to frustrate the intentions of the Immigration Rules by:
(i) overstaying; or
(ii) breaching a condition attached to his leave; or
(iii) being an illegal entrant; or
(iv) using deception in an application for entry clearance, leave to enter or remain or in
order to obtain documents from the Secretary of State or a third party required in support of the application (whether successful or not); and
there are other aggravating circumstances, such as absconding, not meeting temporary admission/reporting restrictions or bail conditions, using an assumed identity or multiple identities, switching nationality, making frivolous applications or not complying with the re-documentation process.
The following general ground for refusal must be considered in private life (but not applications under Appendix FM):
322(1) the fact that variation of leave to enter or remain is being sought for a purpose not covered by these Rules.
Guidance on considering the General Grounds for Refusal can be found here:

If the General Grounds for Refusal above apply in the applicant’s case the application must be refused. Guidance on refusal wordings under General Grounds for Refusal can be found using the links to the guidance above.
Few things to NOTICE
The public funds guidance clearly mention what to do in case the SPONSER is claiming the funds ie look in para 6A 6C and refuse UNDER 322(3) general ground for refusal
BUT
FM says no app can be rejected under general ground for refusal EXCEPT 320 and then sub para
Here no mention of para 322(3) how will this apply
SENiOr MeMebers now it's yur turn
