You come from a country that has a special agreement with the EC
There are some countries that have a special agreement with the EC, which guarantees equal social security treatment for
workers who are nationals of that country and their families. This means you may still be able to get tax credits if you are a national of one of these countries.
The countries are:
Algeria Croatia the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Morocco San Marino Tunisia Turkey
my question is do these refer to those who are here on a settlement visa or just workers here under the EU Association Agreements?
M husband is Turkish and is claiming Tax credits and has been for 2 years while on a settlement visa we have just had his visa extended with no problem,i'm claiming child tax credit aswell as council tax benefit and housing benefit
but could it affect his application for ilr?
many thanks
