You can apply for Universal Credit but they will look to see if you have been granted Settled Status and if you have not, they will refuse benefits, They will also refuse benefits if all you receive is pre-settled status.

Although the UK has left the EU, they are still in the transition period until 31 December 2020, which means that you might qualify for UK benefits under EU laws until 31 Decemebr 2020. For that, you need to show you have an EU laws Right to Reside in the UK and that your EEA or Swiss sponsor is being a Worker Qualified person or has PR.

If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, the landlord can't apply to the courts to have you evicted for failing to pay you rent until March 2020. If you live in England ot Wales, the landlord can't apply to the courts to have you evicted for another 4 weeks.

If the landlord serves a Section 21 notice a tenant to leave in 2 months, they can then apply to the courts to have them evicted if they don't leave by that date. It's this applying to the courts, that has been delayed by the government due to the coronavirus and it was just announced this would be extended for another 4 weeks in England and Wales. However, the courts can delay or refuse (if the Section 21 is not valid).

Have you spoken to your landlord about not being able to pay your rent and what you are doing about looking for work and paying any arrears?

Do have children and if you do, how old are they? Have you come to an arrangement with their father for him to pay child maintanance? https://www.gov.uk/calculate-child-maintenance

The housing allowance part of Universal Credit often doesn't pay all the rent.

UC claimants also have to sign a claimant committement in return for Universal Credit.
Your Claimant Commitment will set out what you have agreed to do to prepare for and look for work, or to increase your earnings if you are already working. It will be based on your personal circumstances and will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis. Each time it is updated, you will need to accept a new Claimant Commitment to keep receiving Universal Credit.

The Claimant Commitment is your record of the responsibilities that you have accepted in return for receiving Universal Credit, and the consequences of not meeting them."

@ Val2018, I got the same email too. I think it’s a technical glitch but you can call them if you want. My timeline is similar to yours, did my biometrics in Feb.

I am non-eu suppose of PR holder eu citizen. I received my BRC in February 2016 which was issue November 2015.


20 January 2020 applied for EU S. scheme
21 January sent my BRC to HO.(app could not read the card)
23 January 2020 got COA via email
02 February 2020 got phone call from HO. Caseworker asked me when did I enter to the UK.it was 4 years and 7 months at that time. She advised me that they can give pre-settle status now and I can apply again once completed 5 years
02 February 2020 received e mail I have pre-settle status till February 2025

As June 2020 I completed my 5 years and applied again to get settle status

19 June 2020 applied
20 June 2020 sent my BRC(app could not read it again)
24 June 2020 received COA

Pre-settle status received within 2 weeks but pandemic/lockdown was not started yet in that time.

I don’t know if settle status decision takes longer or HO has backlog due to lockdown.

Although I have pre-settle till 2025 looking forward to settle status. Later will count 365 days to apply for citizenship

This wait is killing.
HO isn't doing a good job to be fair.
I'm I the only one still waiting from Jan/Feb or are there people still waiting longer than me?
Seems nothing is happening lately.
Guys I'm highly frustrated and disappointed with the whole process.
9th month and still waiting, it's annoying.

I guess I will be waiting for 9 months or more. It’s been 5 months, I have contacted my local MP, filed two complaints and nothing happens. My case is so straightforward, I don’t get what can possibly take so long ? To be honest, I don’t care anymore, I have started my university course, it keeps me very busy and distracts from immigration negativity
