If you are separated haven't you lost the right to remain here?elvina wrote:please i want to ask if i can apply income support and housing benefit without my eea husband cos we are seperated and am selfemployed.
How long are you married and how long in UK? Also is the husband still in UK and are there any plans for divorce?elvina wrote:if the law says i should leave then i will leave cos there are things u cant compromise.
Well the reality is it's difficult to prove you are or aren't still a couple here from a legal point of view, so I think you can hang on. Claiming benefits will tip the balance tho in my view, implication there being that your husband isn't supporting you thereby the marriage is over.elvina wrote:i have been in uk 4 2yrs and the marriage has lasted for 2yrs with 14months baby and am pregnant now.
no plans for divorce now is just temporay.cos we need to sort ourselves out.
Work and Pension don't know the immigration rules tho.elvina wrote:i will go ahead and make the claim if work and pension give a good decision.that means am entitle,i remember the case of somalia woman.am not in uk just to work without getting any benefit.
Actually no. If council and work and pension make a decision, that is not an excuse for you. Even government departments can mistake, and it was you who got the visa from UK home office, so you always remain responsible.elvina wrote:pls can i understand where the law will affect my residence,i work and pay tax.as well as my husband.we are not divorce,just temp seperated to put things in right position.
if council and work/pension make decision on my claim and grant me those benefits i believe they know the law themselves.
There's no such things as an 'EU Passport'....elvina wrote:now i understand,maybe if i want to apply for ILR homeoffice will know i ve been on benefit or i should be the one to let them know now.
anyway my marriage is registered in my husband consulate when we applied for passport for my child.
and am due to a apply for eu passort by feb 2011 according to their consulate.i ve checked and go to cab office they said am entitled.
