If you applied for migrant victims of domestic abuse concession prior to applying for indefinite leave to remain as a victim of domestic violence or abuse (and did so within 3 months), then you would have been given access to benefits to support yourself, that means you can claim all benefits, subject to the eligibility requirements for each benefit. Usually, it means Universal Credit and possibly Council Tax Support, but it depends on your circumstances.

In a post you tagged onto the end of another member's topic 2 days ago, you were asking how to withdraw your ILR application under DV. :idea:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
