Sir/Ma,
I applied for my son who is 13 years old from outside the UK. He was given indefinite leave to enter but I want to know if despite the fact that I signed Financial undertakings Form that I wont claim benefits on him for the next 5 years, whether i can include him with my housing application in order to get additional room for him? Will I be breaking any law if I do this?
Please, advice me.
Thank you so much.
Regards,
Sah
I have no idea what your financial undertatking means, but Housing Benefit and it's replacement benefit called Universal Credit, are public funds.
If you can claim benefits for him, this might trigger a move to Universal Credit under natural migration to that benefit. You might want to check what that will mean for you, not only for benefit money but the amount you will be expected to earn each week and what you are expected to do for benefit money. Everybody who wants low income benefits on Universal Credit, have to sign a Claimant Commitment.

The CAB can do a benefits check for you.
