Claiming benefits what rights.

Dear guys

my solicitor who is very good ruuning in our community for the past 25 years our solicitor told me if I get housing benefit it won't effect my wifes visa when we come to renew it as I am british born citizen and my daugther only claim in my name I work part time I'm not a dependent when we applied under FLR FP 10 years route parent we just paid the fee single fee £601 If was appying as a dependent then the fee would of gone up
I think my solicitor just put my name on the form who's my wife living with as a partner getting housing benefit will not effect it if i was a dependent then getting housing benefit will effect it.

Is anyone british citizen getting housing benefit and working partime and have renewed your partners visa

My question is I'm British born here if I receive housing benefit, council tax benefit in my name only would there be a problem when I renew my wife's visa which she got under FLR FP ( 10 years route ) as the moment I'm living with my parents on the council waiting list bidding.


Due to my dad receiving disability living allowance middle rate I do not need to pay rent at all.

I work part time 15 hours a week in hospital I'm getting child benefit and child tax credit only for my daughter in my name only and I did apply for sure start maternity grant which they give £500 I put my wife's name on it when I applied.

When I applied under FLP FP showing all documents did not cause any problems even I gave council letters showing we are bidding for council house.

I just paid a the single fee of £601 for the application.

Tax credits must be in joint names if you're a couple!

When I claimed child tax credits in my name only this did not cause any problems when I sent all documents which she got her visa under FLR FP ( 10 years route )

Where a couple who live together claim tax credits in sole name, they breach the Tax Credit Regulations. This could potentially lead to prosecution for benefit fraud. Tax credits must be in joint names.

If this was the case the HO would have said something when I sent the documents

My wife did not have the right to work that's why I had to make single claimant she did not have any visa she was reporting every two weeks to immigration centre Beckett house in London bridge for the past two years now that she has her visa and also has the right to work my wife dose not intend to work her BRP Card clearly states no public fund if she started working I know I have to put her name on the child tax credit.

10 years route to ILR then can put her name in it this is not fraud what I have done clearly states if I get any benefits in my name only like Housing Benefit, council tax credit etc.. It won't effect her visa at all plUs I work part time.

If home office said this is fraud my wife would not have been given the visa in the first place.

I have explained that your tax credit application should be in joint names, there is not much more I can say, you're unwilling to listen.

I'm not unwilling to listen tell me how can you put your partners name down as your partner has not got a visa for example if your partner is an overstayer or visa has run out etc.. You can't put your partners name down on Child tax credit as your partner may not have an NI then will ask for proof of ID like passport etc.. Then they will see ID if the person has got visa and then maybe inform HO this will result in your partner getting caught and make it even worse.

Please explain this then.

Your wife have leave!

Know someone in almost the situation his partner is an overstayer they have a child and they want to make a flr FP application now but very confused as adding his partners details on the claim without no NI could cause problems with Ho. Would it be best for him to add his partners details to the claim after application is sent to home office?.

Best to claim in his name if he has ILR or his British born never claim in partners name even if she has visa it will say no public fund on BRP CARD

@zakir1988 will this not cause issues with the application to ho. As they probably with check and see that the the partners details are not on the application?

My wife has leave now but never claim on her name just only your name as this will not be good. people say put your partners name on child tax credit only cause it against the rules if living together you have to put it on child tax.

my question is claimed only child tax only in my name snice I'm british born didn't put my partners name in then why is that when i sent all documents to HO when i applied under FLR FP they checked everything was ok then gave my wife the visa 10 years route parent.

can anyone answer this

What proof did you send as living togather as not many bills paid.

I sent photos of us together, birth certificate both our names and address on it, daughters letters in her name, proof of tenancy agreements who lives at the property, council letters etc..

Here is the example list for what documents I sent for FLP FP application.

1. Work pay slips
2. Utility bills
3. birth certificates of child
4. tenancy agreement
5. Bank statement
6. Photos wedding etc..
7. Rent council letter

Hi, my wife is on spouse visa. I have to apply for extension After 30months 2017. We just recently had a baby 2015. I as a British citizen can I apply for child benefit & child tax credit ?

not to worry only claim in your name child Benefit and child tax credit it should be fine it wont effect. your wifes visa when you apply for extension it didn't effect us all benefits are in my name only I'm British born citizen.

Hi guys

My wife has got an visa under Flr fp 10 year route I wanted to know is that I am receiving all benefits under my name only when I applied for her visa I sent all benefits receiving that are only under my name cause as my wife will not be entitled to.

I wanted to know that is it now she got visa her biometric card says no public fund like I thought so it would I'm still receiving all benefits under my name only and child tax credit like everyone would think partner not allowed to be receiving any benefit no joint claimants.

Can anyone explain if it's okay.

Child tax credits MUST be claimed in joint names. It will NOT affect her visa or future applications. HO is aware of this as is HMRC.

CR001 Is it fine if I'm claiming only in my name Child Tax credits when I apply for discretionary leave would that effect her visa when I applied under FLR FP which she got her visa parent 10 year route Child tax credits was only in my name this did not effect her when she got her visa.

When I applied for Flr Fp she did not have an visa and I was and is claiming only under my name.


Can someone please give me an answer
