Housing Benefit and the Entry Clearance Visa

Post by newagenow » Tue Aug 16, 2011 4:17 pm

Please could you advice us:

I am:

- on housing benefits (in my name only).

My wife is on Entry Clearance Visa

My question is:

Can my wife work part or full time and does that AFFECT MY HOUSING BENEFIT?

Thank you for your prompt answer.

It will do if it puts your joint income over the threshold for housing benefit as it would for any claimant.
