Applying for Housing when my wife is on a spouse visa

[agronl]

Hi,

My wife came to UK on a spouse visa in Novemeber 2006. Now we have a son (4 months old).

The question I want to ask is as follows.

Currently I live in a studio flat, very small and am planning to move into a 1 bedroom flat. My problem is that with my current salary it is very difficult to afford a 1 bedroom flat. Therefore I intend to go to my local Council Housing Association to ask if they can pay maybe half of my rent.

As my wife is on a spouse visa, she is not entitled to Public Funds so if I apply just for myself and my son for Housing help, is this going to be a problem when my wife applies for the ILR visa?

It would be great if someone could clarify this.

Apologies for writing such a long explanation, but I hope I have made myself clear.

Many thanks,

Will be ok provided you declare your spouse and child are living with you and declare any income they recieve, inc Child Benefit.
