Hi @Snooky.
Sorry to bother you please. I was reading through the form,it states An Eu self sufficient child. We are presently being supported by the social service(section 17). Do you think I can still apply for derivatives right if we are under the children services please?
I was thinking of putting in another Eu Settlement scheme application,this time would rely on my eldest child,who is in education. I'm scared the ongoing application is being delayed because my second child is not self sufficient and it might come out negative.
I need your advice please. Thank you
A self-sufficient person is someone who has enough money to pay for their living expenses without claiming benefits in the UK and who has comprehensive sickness insurance in the UK.
To be accepted as a self-sufficient person they must be able to show more than the maximum level of resources which a UK national and their family members can have in order to qualify for social assistance under the UK benefits system.
There is no requirement regarding the origin of the resources on the basis of which an EU citizen may be self-sufficient. To assess whether an EU national is self-sufficient in the UK, he or she only needs to show that there are sufficient resources available. This in turn means that the origin of the resources can equally be from employment of a spouse or other family member, a point made by the CJEU on several occasions (see, e.g., C-200/02 Chen [2004] ECR I-9525 and C-86/12 Alokpa 10 October 2013). Regulation 4(4) of the 2006 Regulations now confirms that an EEA national can qualify as self-sufficient based on the income of their non-EEA family member.
Based on regulation 16(2), 16(4) and 16(7) for Chen, Ibrahim/Teixeira it could be a bit of a problem.
The only way is if your social service assistance is saved in a different bank account by you and have enough funds in there; as you dont need to show where the funds are coming from.
Technically section 17 will affect you if you dont save the money given to you as subsistence.
If you have any family member too who is part of your household and works, that would be fine.
Thank you for the reply.
I don't have any family member leaving with me,only my children. My ex partner gives us feeding allowance. He is self employed but we don't leave together anymore.
What do you think my opinion is please?
2. Can your ex support the child with the income
3. Is your ex working
Based on your answers to these causing, I can determine another route
You could still have derived right
Yes he can
He works as a self employed
Thank you
