What does your international organsiation that has exempt staff, say about their staff being able to claim benefits while in the UK?
Thinking about it, as your employer brings in exempt visa staff, they must know if these staff can have UK public funds without being in breach of their visa.
A bit late, but this "and" seems to sugest that you can't have UK public funds as you have a time limit on your stay in the UK?
It's not the claiming benefits that is the problem, it's receiving public funds that they must not take that is the problem. Benefit staff are not immigration experts and it is up to the visa holder to ensure they don't take what they are not allowed.vinny wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 1:30 pmIf there is no "No recourse to Public Funds" prohibition notice on your visa, then I think you probably may be able to claim.
There is an "and".vinny wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 1:57 pmIf the visa does not have a "No Recourse to Public Funds" (NRPF) condition notice, then what prevents the visa holder from receiving the benefits that he may eligible to claim?

In order be eligible to access certain benefits and other support and assistance, non-
British citizens will need to be living in the UK (for example having indefinite
permission to stay or enter or having a no time limit on their stay) and are not subject
to an NRPF condition.

Good advice. Agree absolutely.
It's what the charities advise migrants to do with anything that is public funds and they will often give a link to where to find advisors.
