Good Evening Respected Members,
First of all thanks a lot for your kind help & support.
I am British Citizen. My wife and 4 years old daughter came from Pakistan 2 months ago on spouse and dependent visa.
Is that possible if I apply for child Tax credit & universal credit or it will impact their next visa application after 2 and half years from now.
Kind Regards,
Abacus

Child Tax Credit has been replaced by Universal Credit

You should take specialist immigration advice before you claim any public funds.

My partner is a person subject to immigration control

However, as noted in CPAG Benefits for Migrants, where the the UC claimant and the partner with NRPF are joint tenants with other joint tenants, the calculation could result in extra housing costs being payable to the claimant due to the presence of the partner with NRPF.¹⁶ In which case specialist immigration advice would be needed before making a UC claim.

...

Also there is an additional problem if the person with recourse were entitled to a single person discount in their council tax, in which case CTR is calculated on 75% of liability. If the presence of the partner with NRPF results in the loss of the single person discount, CTR is then calculated on 100% of liability, which could result in additional public funds being paid to the claimant.

Again, specialist immigration advice should be sought before advising a claim for CTR,or indeed in any circumstances where there may be a concern about breaching the NRPF conditions attached to a partner’s leave.
