It makes no difference whatsoever who, out of the joint claimants for Tax Credits, is actually working, to trigger an entitlement to WTC. Para 6B of the Immigration Rules means, for you, that Tax Credits are not within the definition of Public Funds.

Thanks John
For your reply.
Its means No problem for claiming WTC?

[John]

Never confuse the terms "benefits" and "Public Funds". Not all benefits are within the definition of Public Funds, and for you in your circumstances, Tax Credits, either or both, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit, are not within the definition of Public Funds.

So no problem claiming that benefit.

Thanks John,Amber
Now i am feeling tense free.Because one of my friend make me really confused about that he told me now you cannot claim WTC because now you are not working your wife is working(you wife are subject to immigration control) may be HO refuse your wife ILR.
Thanks again

[Amber]

John's already told you that's not the case, just ignore the friend.

[John]

I concur with Amber_, your friend simply does not understand the technical legislation in play here. No problem with Tax Credits being claimed in your circumstances.

A, income is:

Earnings = £180
Child Benefit = £33.00
WTC = £57.00
CTC = £112.00

Total income = £382.00 per week

B, accommodation costs:

Rent = £125.00
Council tax = £30.00

Total accommodation costs = 155.00 per week

C, income support applicable amount:

An amount for a couple = £112.55 per week + 2 x an amount for children = £65.62 x 2 = £131.24 and Family element = £17.40 = £261.19

The total income support applicable amount for my family unit including my partner and 2 x children = £261.19 per week

A – B is expected to be equal to or greater than C. Check the figures I’ve used to exact ones and I think you should be fine as I’ve estimated your council tax.
