Disabled Sponsor Advice

Post by DavLissy » Wed Nov 21, 2012 10:23 pm

Hello everyone, i've spent hours on this forum and found some very useful information, thanks to everyone.

I need advice on a certain little problem.
I'm disabled and claiming DLA(middle rate), i also claim Income Support & Incapacity benefit, In March i'll be marrying my Ukrainian partner of 2 years, we've met on 10 occasions, in Berlin, Oslo, Kiev and she's been to UK twice this year on a visitor visa,( we have lots of photgraphic & flight details for proof of our relationship) we will marry in Ukraine, we will then be submitting the application for my new wife to come to UK as my carer.
I live in a council house and claim housing benefit & council tax benefit.
The new rules from July say that anyone claiming DLA are exempt from the financial commitment but must be able to accommodate and adequately maintain my spouse.
Does our application have a chance of success on the evidence from above?
Any info or direction would be really appreciated. Thanks

What evidence? You've said absolutely nothing about your income vs expenditure.

My only income is from the benefits i've mentioned, plus a few thousand in the bank, my partner will also bring about £2,000 with her. Expenditure is very low, i have no loans or owe any other money to anyone, gas, electric, water, internet connection, and food add up to about £400 a month

Its about 800 a month, but i'm not sure all the benefits can be used in the calculations of providing adequate maintenence for my spouse.
