section 7(B) [Maintenance] of FLR(M) asks information about relative or friend making regular payment (for pre 9 July applicants) but section 7.7, on the other hand, says financial support from third parties cannot be relied upon! Why are such contradicting information in the same section of FLR(M)?

Financial support from third parties cannot be relied upon for post 9 July applicants who are not subject to the transitional provisions (3.6.4).

Financial support from third parties cannot be relied upon for post 9 July applicants who are not subject to the transitional provisions (3.6.4).

The application form itself is quite confusing. I have copied here the relevant sections of FLR(M):

7.5 at the bottom: (please note - only applicants granted leave to enter or remain under Chapter 8 of the Immigration Rules before 9 July 2012 are permitted to include third party support)

7.7 Complete the following table indicating the sources and levels of income as indicated in 7.5 and 7.6 that you and your partner are relying on to adequately maintain yourselves and any dependants. Please note that financial support from third parties cannot be relied upon.

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

Part 8 is the old rules, those with transitional protection, who must be able to adequately maintain and accommodate themselves, which they can do with 3rd party support unlike new applicants without transitional protection who must meet a financial requirement without 3rd party support (but for an academic stipend).

Dear D4109125,

Thanks for showing interest. I can see -as it is obvious in the form- that pre 9 july applicant are allowed to include third party support. But I am confused as to why section 7.7, the table where one is supposed to include the details, provides that financial support from third parties cannot be relied upon!

If the prohibition, at the end of section 7.7, is aimed at post 9 july applicant only, it should have mentioned this like section 7.5 (bottom of section 7.5 in bracket). It does not explicitly says so, but make the matter even more confusing.

If a pre 9 july applicant is asked yes/no answers regarding third party support, why shouldn't s/he include such details in the table provided by section 7.7?

What is the point of answering yes to third party support (by a pre 9 july applicant) and then not being able to include the details of amount received etc.

Can dependent include a third party support? If yes how much bank balance needed to be shown?
