## Sponsor claiming CB & WTC ##

[MikeForan]

If a sponsor is making an ILR application for his widowed father but the sponsor is employed and also receiving Child benefits (the usual £13.20) and Working Tax Credit, then will that amount to refusal of ILR application?

I am in a similar situation my wife and I have 2 kids together uk born and have been married for 4 years. During that time i had a change of jobs and have been working part time and claiming Working tax and child tax in my name but paid into her bank acoiunt. Due to an oversight her visa expired while she was abroad and we have since lodged a fresh application. Will the fact that I am claiming these benefits have any bearing on the visa being granted?

My take home wage is approx £800 p/m and total WT and CT credits Approx £400 p/m?

Any advise would help.

Thanks
