That's correct. You must not claim as a single person when you are not. You claim as a couple so that his earnings and capital are linked to your claim, but you can't have extra benefits for your NRPF partner. You should be paid as a single preson but his earnings and capital will reduce any UC claim amount as partners are expected to keep each other.Aisharafiq wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 6:22 pmHi my husband is on spouse visa and is not eligable for benefits i have recently applied for universal credit due to being out of work my husband is still working we dont have any children they said we have to apply as couple even tho he isnt eligable his income must be counted but it will be me receiving the benfit not him will me getting universal credit affect his future visa application
I applied in March 2021 and my wife who was on a spouse was given a biographical interview, they asked her brp details. we applied as a couple. now they only pay me the British citizen, at a single rate. even though the statement says couple, but we get paid the single rate and we also got a letter that my wifes ineligible for universal credit in the journal. write journal messages to make them aware and tell then when they call your spouse as well i.e. work coach.Aisharafiq wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 6:22 pmHi my husband is on spouse visa and is not eligable for benefits i have recently applied for universal credit due to being out of work my husband is still working we dont have any children they said we have to apply as couple even tho he isnt eligable his income must be counted but it will be me receiving the benfit not him will me getting universal credit affect his future visa application
Housing Benefit is one of the 6 welfare benefits that has been replaced by Universal Credit. Universal Credit is made of of elements and if you want the housing elelement for help towards your rent, then it is correct that you have to be really careful not to take extra benefit money for your NRPF partner.
