you have just said that it is your wife that's claiming housing benefit,as she is a british citizen she is entitled to claim any benefit she is eligible for.Tahir Hameed wrote:Well my wife is claiming with my name on the claim but I am mentioned as a partner in the claim and the main claimant is my wife not me. While giving the documents the council people asked about my documents and i supplied a copy of my visa along with wage slips.
But the main question remains unanswered which is that WOULD THIS HOUSING BENEFIT HAVE AN AFFECT ON MY ILR APPLICATION ?
In other words, WOULD THE HOME OFFICE GRANT MY VISA FOR INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN OR REJECT IT BY SAYING THAT I AM CLAIMING HOUSING BENEFIT AS MY WIFE IS CLAIMING?
If the authorities have used your income in benefit calculations I wouldn't sweat it.Tahirhameed wrote:The reason for my tension is that few of the solicitors are of the opinion that I am living in the property for free because my wife is claiming benefit. In other words by doing so, i am getting housing benefit as well regardless of the fact that the claim is not in my name.
I don't know what is the logic behind it because when I am not paying rent for the property does it means that i am in receipt of public funds. This is confusiing me to a great extent.
That only goes to prove that those people need more training, especially in the way the Public Funds definition in para 6 of the Immigration Rules is effectively varied by paras 6A to 6C.The reason for my tension is that few of the solicitors are of the opinion that I am living in the property for free because my wife is claiming benefit.
