EEA Family permit-Being Off sick Urgent Question pls answer!

[Estera]

Pls I really need advice on urgent matter I will be appreciated for any help

Basically my husband will soon apply for eea family permit from GH I'm EEA in UK since 2006 I was working all the time since july 2010 I got suffered from some depression and breakdown so basically I'm getting Statutory Sick Pay and still formally employed that expires end of January

My question is would be that problem for him to get visa if im on statory sick pay?

I also receive child tax credit work tax credit and housing benefit as Im a main career for my 12 year old brother as my parents both died, We have sufficent accomodation before I went off sick I worked 32 hours in a private day nursery with permanent contract Im planning to go back in the begining of january

But could be eea family permit be refused as Im currently on statutory sick pay or not? If he gonna apply now? Should I explain in sponsor letter why I went of statutory sick and Im back to work as I recovered from my ilness?

many thanks

No, as you are still in employment. SSP, Holidays and other "days off" do not mean you are not employed. Also, do not rush back into work because of this concern, take as much time (and more if you can as you need! YOU ARE A WORKER/EMPLOYED until resign yourself or are "sacked" and even then, if you are not working and register as unemployed AND keep looking for work you are STILL classified as a WORKER! Your husband would be applying and should be getting an EEA FP with EASE.

Do not worry about the benefits either, as a worker you are Entitled to them!

Go ahead and apply ASAP, to get your hubby by Xmas
