Your friend's nationality? His partner/wife's nationality?As far as my understanding is concerned HSMP's are not entitle to claim child benefit, will this effect his ILR application and he has been claiming it since four month how can he rectify it if this was the mistake on his part?
It is not that simple. For example, had they been from Canada, or even worked in Canada at some time, they would have been entitled to claim the Child Benefit.As far as my understanding is concerned HSMP's are not entitle to claim child benefit,
Do they really check that? Many of my friends has got HSMP extension/ILR by answering "NO" to that question even though they had been claiming child benefit. I still cannot fathom whether it is luck or bliss of ignorance by HO to overlook this.John wrote:OK, that being the case, they should not be claiming Child Benefit (nor Tax Credits).
They should contact the Child Benefit forthwith and withdraw the claim.
The effect on the later ILR should be nil. I say this because the application form asks about Public Funds in the present tense .... Are you claiming .... and of course the truthful answer at that time will be .... no!
