Effect of Benefit on Family appeal

[silverbird]

Hi everyone I need some help here.

I am appealing based on article 8 I have a British wife and child and my wife also has a child from a previous relationship so they wont expect us to move to my own country also because they are british.

I do have a problem as my wife is claiming housing benefit and council tax reduction because I had to stop work due to my visa application being considered before refusal.

Will this benefit claim be a problem at the tribunal when I go for hearing?

Thank you

As your wife is British, she can claim anything, as long as it's not in joint name.if you're not claiming with her,I think there shouldn't be problem.

I have had to split your topic as we don't tolerate people hijacking other people's thread with irrelevant post.

Please dont do than anymore.

If your wife and children are British you may win under Exception 1, although settlement will be on a 10 years route.
