Got Visa- sponsor wants to claim benefits

Post by Daywalkr » Sun Feb 07, 2016 9:22 pm

Hello,

Well i recently got spouse visa for UK. My sponsor (wife) earns 19k before tax. Now our circumstances are going to change.. My wife is pregnant and will b on maternity leave in may and during that period she will earn 9K only. We both have no savings and will not get any help from our families.. She is a British national and i m non EEA spouse with spouse visa.. Kindly please tell me what benefits she can claim??

most importantly we need : Housing benefit ----- can she claim it? if yes how? is she going to tell council that her husband is with her ? what could be the affect of me as dependent on her application for HB?
Does this affect my extension visa after 2.5 yrs?

CTR benefit? Can she claim it ??

any other benefit which she can claim during her maternity leave??

Please help me out ..
Many thanks in advance
