Can you bring spouse on pension benefit/credit on spouse visa?

Hi,

As mentioned in my previous post, this message is for my father trying to bring over his wife to the UK. I mentioned he's claiming Universal Credit and he's currently 64. He's eligible for pension at age 66, in 2 years.

Can he bring his wife over on pension benefit/credit alone? He's also filling in forms for PIP as he has several illnesses/disabilities.

Please let me know when you can. Thanks.

Not sure he can as he wouldn't meet the financial requirements.
