Disability Living Allowance?

uzee · Post by **uzee** » Sun Nov 11, 2012 4:09 pm

My sister (born and bred in the UK) currently is full-time employed and also receives Disability Living Allowance.

She is planning on getting married some time next year.

Regarding the visa application of her husband (from Pakistan), will her receiving this allowance sway/influence the decision in any way by the British High Commission in Pakistan?

What do you mean will it sway or influence the decision? What they will be concerned with is whether there is adequate accommodation and maintenance available

I mean would it been seen as a burden?

No but the maintenance requirement needs to be met.

I understand anyone who is disabled can only use DLA in calculations of providing adequate maintenance of their spouse, does anyone know approx the amount of money that is acceptable? and can savings be taken into consideration? Any replys appreciated.

update:

IMMIGRATION DIRECTORATE INSTRUCTIONS 1.7a. It's an annex to set out the full definition of "adequate maintenance" (which they don't describe fully in the main body of FM 1.7) and this annex is dated February 2013.

Thanks for that update, i read it that all benefits can be including in working out an adequate amount ( 5. Assessing the adequacy of the funds available), which is good news for me and my fiance.

Those in receipt of DLA can work as many hours as they like - there are no restrictions on hours - DLA is not means tested either

However, you must inform the DWP you are working and that may trigger a change of circumstance and your benefit may be stopped or reduced.
