Thank u Vinny ,
When she came to UK as spouse visa we needed to show £18600 , and I was above the minimum of financial requirements so I showed around £20k . But I didn’t get enough work since COVID 19 so I’m way below £18600 . We got A2 abs all other documents ready. But just confused about UC . Don’t know if I can add them as adequate maintenance or no bcoz I remember so far that I have sign SU7 form I guess it’s sponsor declaration form about benefits. Will that not b issue ?
And 2nd since I’m on UC and my wife is as well in claim but she doesn’t get anything as she’s not eligible for public funds . Since UC requirements r for new claim to add ur status as couple of living together so I did same. But then they sent a letter few days after we applied UC saying she’s not eligible . But on monthly statement UC they do take her saving or income in account. But she doesn’t work or have saving .
1. Are you in receipt of any of the following?
"i) disability living allowance;
(ii) severe disablement allowance;
(iii) industrial injury disablement benefit;
(iv) attendance allowance;
(v) carer’s allowance;
(vi) personal independence payment;
(vii) Armed Forces Independence Payment or Guaranteed Income Payment under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme;
(viii) Constant Attendance Allowance, Mobility Supplement or War Disablement Pension under the War Pensions Scheme; or
(ix) Police Injury Pension"
If are you receiving any of the above, adequate maintenance applies otherwise NO you cannot add any benefits to meet the financial requirement and UC does not count towards the financial requirement unless you are getting PIP. SU07 is not relevant to a spouse visa applications so it's irrelevant.
2. UC is irrelevant here as the claim is on you and not your partner.
3. This is the current concession
"a temporary loss of employment income between 1 March and 31 October
2021 due to COVID-19, will be disregarded provided the minimum income
requirement was met for at least 6 months immediately prior to the date the
income was lost - this is for a loss of employment income between 1 March
2020 to 31 October 2021 due to COVID-19 an applicant or sponsor furloughed
under the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will be deemed
as earning 100% of their salary"My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.
