I am currently residing in UK on dependant HSMP which is expiring in June 2008. I am separated from my husband due to domestic violence on me at my house in April 2008. Now i had applied for Child benefit in Sept 2008. I specifically mentioned in the form that i have 'no recourse to public funds' and also in the additonal information section that i have 'no recourse to public funds'. But i was a victim of domestic violence and a court case was going on. I was taking care of my less than 2 yr old child on my own.
Inspite of giving all this information, i was allowed child benefit which i have been receiving since then.
I have been full time employment all through except for one month when i was switching jobs.
Now, i want to apply for Tier1. Being on dependant HSMP visa i need to go to my home country India to apply for the visa, i am flying to India in a weeks time for the same. I would be applying for a dependant Tier1 visa for my child (less than 2 yrs now).
As i am applying from outside the UK, i would be filling VAF9 and pbsappendix1 for myself and VAF10 form for my son.
VAF10 says i have to show evidence that i can take care of my son without any child benefits (WHICH I CAN). Child benefit was just like an extra perk for me.
Now what should i do,
1) Should i disclose that i have been getting child benefit even when i was having 'no recourse to public funds', even after declaring so in the child benefit form.
2) Cancel the payments and keep the payments till now.
3) Withdraw the child benefit and return all the money back.
4) Also, please advise if i am filling the correct forms, VAF9 and pbsappendix1 for myself, the main applicant and VAF10 for dependant child.
Imp: I have my Tier1 visa appointment before 18th of March in India. I want to do the needful for child benefit asap.
Please advise so that i have no hassles on child benefit front in clear go through for my Tier1 visa.
Thanks in advance,
Saanvi

He has never been to India after he was born, he went to USA on a visit once and came back. Now, a question on VAF10 asks,
6.4 Have you been granted a visa for the UK in the last 10
years? Put a cross (x) in the relevant box.
What should be the answer for that? YES or NO?
Thanks a ton,
