Good Morning all,
I am truly sorry if anyone asked this before.
I'm on a spousal visa which is based on the old rule. My ILR comes up next year June, but my husband lost his job a couple of months ago.
He is looking to claim unemployment benefits but is really worried that it will affect my application next year.
Do you think this will affect my application?
My visa was issued on the 29th of June 2012 and I came into the UK on the 21st of July 2012.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

As he has been working (I assume over the last 2 years) he'll get contribution JSA which only awards a single person amount so nothing to worry about there. Which Country are you native?

If he claims housing/council tax benefit makes sure the applicable amount is for a single person.

Thank you so much for your reply, I am Nigerian, and he had worked for over two years. He isn't claiming housing benefit as our house is owned outright
should I tell him to apply as a single person? he filled the form as a married man...does this matter or not?

So long as he indicated that you are subject to immigration there should be no issue.
