Even if the applicant alone was subject to immigration control it would be ok so far as:page 13 wrote:A British citizen or a person settled in the UK who receives housing from a local authority
can include their partner’s name on the tenancy agreement, even if their partner is subject to
immigration control.
As it is not the person subject to immigration control making the claim they must not be
considered to be claiming public funds.
Your child will be British, how on earth dare they talk to you like that.Page 14 wrote:they apply without being referred from a local authority or housing authority
housing wrote:On March 2nd 2009, an amendment to the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 came into effect, introduced by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 schedule 15. This only affects homeless applications where the applicant is:
eligible
not subject to immigration control (i.e. usually a UK or EEA citizen with a right to reside)
dependant on another person to be defined as in priority need or homeless, and that person would normally be regarded as ineligible.
An example would be a British woman who is married to an overseas student and lives with him and his nine-year old son (her stepson).
The Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 creates a new type of person, a 'restricted person' who is effectively neither eligible nor ineligible. This is used just to describe the ineligible family members of eligible people not subject to immigration control.
The schedule inserts this definition of a restricted person into the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987, and sets up a procedure for dealing with applications made by those people affected:
Where an eligible applicant applies as homeless but is only defined as in priority need or homeless because of the presence of a restricted person in his/her household, then s/he will be offered emergency and interim accommodation only.
His/her application for a housing allocation should not attract any reasonable preference given to homeless applicants but should attract the reasonable preference given to people for other reasons (medical or social need, overcrowded or insanitary conditions, etc) as appropriate.
The local authority should seek, so far as is practicable, to bring their duty towards such cases to an end by offering private accommodation But this is discretionary and the local authority can offer social housing if it so chooses: it can only do so in line with its published allocations policy, however.
