Pls someone help me with an answer,are those of you getting presettled or settled status especially Chen carers,are you allowed recourse to public funds or not?

Hello Stace18

To your question about benefits.

1. With settled status, you are allowed any benefits as far as you meet the condition. Remember benefits are means tested.

2. Pre settled status holders are not allowed to draw means tested benefits but only contributory benefits.

But under the EEA Regulations, someone derivative holders can take benefits if your Zambrano is not on british citizen child.

Big ups

Nah Snooky, it's not true. You are entitled to benefits when you are granted either settled or pre settled depending on your circumstances. Yes it is means tested.

Your rights with settled or pre-settled status

You’ll be able to:

work in the UK use the NHS for free as you do now enrol in education or continue studying, acess public funds such as benefits and pensions, if you’re eligible for them travel in and out of the UK.

Hi Topsilbele

Snooke is right. If anybody have pre settle staus as zambrano is not entitled for mainstream benefit.
Nither on drv card nor pre settle status.
Amendment 2019 made to continued to apply same rules.

http://taxnews.lexisnexis.co.uk/TaxNews ... ss=1&xml=0

Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019
 Purpose of the instrument

2.1 This instrument makes amendments to Child Benefit and Child Tax Credits regulations, to clarify that the existing rules on access to Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit remain in place for EEA (European Economic Area) and Swiss nationals and for Zambrano carers (non-United Kingdom, non-EEA citizen primary carers of a British citizen child, or adult dependant) who are granted limited leave to enter or remain under the EU Settlement Scheme (the EU Settlement Scheme). The EU Settlement Scheme is the new immigration scheme for EEA and Swiss nationals in the UK (United Kingdom) when the UK leaves the EU (European Union).
Legislative Context

6.1 Under existing legislation, individuals who wish to claim Child Benefit or Child Tax Credit must be:

present in the UK;ordinarily resident in the UK; andhave a right to reside in the UK.
6.4 Regulation 23 and 27 of the Child Benefit (General) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/223), currently provide that an individual who does not have a right to reside, or who has a right to reside only as a Zambrano carer, is not treated as being within Great Britain or Northern Ireland for the purposes of claiming Child Benefit.

I just copy past relevent information.

U can apply for benefit but hmrc will tell on pre settle zambrano u cannot get.

When l got my DRF under Zambrano in 2014, l applied for child benefits and did get it. However, a year down the line, they said l am not entitled and asked that l pay back over £4000 which l completely ignored.

If u r continue to entitles child benefit as u do now as have ind leave to remain they will start deduction from there.

People who get zambrano reside not entitled for benefits. Yes chen carers can claim as they r not excluded.
That is why I made fee waiver application.

It is dumb and discriminatory. British citizens are not entitled to child benefit just because where their parents are born. EU citizens are entitled to child benefits regardless of where they are born.
Stupid law!

Snooky here, I believe many people have explain it to you. To understand these laws you first have understand Section 115 of the Immigration and Asylum Act. This is a domestic UK immigration statute law which was first used to discriminate Zambrano derivative carers.

When it finally came to court, lady Hale who has been a champion for children by enacting, best interest of a child, every child matters policy under ZH Tanzanian case submitted to section 17 social Act.

Technically Zambrano have a right to reside under Sanneh case but Home Office has excluded Zambrano from bylaws under domestic laws.

But now that settled status is on, the right of Zambrano has been re-enshrine so Thank God

I have 2.5 years leave to remain due to expire next month. I applied for pre settled status in June and still waiting for decision. I am on full benefit because I look after my disabled child. I'm in the process of applying for application fee waiver pending eu settlement decision.

Now my question is if my pre settled decision come out positive, can I still continue with my 2.5 year leave to remain application?
The reason is because if I am be allowed public funds under the pre settled status, it will affect my disabled child. I'm just confused because I have to submit my fee waiver form this week. I don't know what to do to be honest

Someone please advise me

Thank you for your replies. But i still don't get it. Sorry guys....My kids were born in UK, 5 year old has DRC for 5 years (ends december) and 2 year old DRC for 1.5 years. We all derived from my eldest daughter who is British. So, few days ago myself and my wife got ILR under Zambrano (they clearly state it at the back of BRC). Can I apply for both of my kids for Citizenship? Or I have to wait for a year to do so? Or they should apply for settled status first? Thank you for your help....

There are many ways to this:
1. They were born in the UK but not to British citizens and at the time of their birth, you were undocumented. As they have DRC, you can apply for them to have pre settled, and wait for them to have settled status, and then wait the mandatory one year to apply for British citizenship for them with form MN1.

2. You wait till they are 10 and apply for naturalisation on MN1 form for them.

Thanks for your response. To be honest I have a lot I'm dealing with at the moment, there is no way I'm able to work full time now with my child condition.
Just in case home office grant me pre settled status (no recourse to public funds) while waiting for fee waiver decision, can I still make my 2.5 year leave to remain application?

Although I would have loved to have my pre settled, which is quicker to get my indefinite leave but I am alone with a child that needs 24/7 care, there is no way I can go back to full time work now. I sent all the medical reports and letter from support worker with my application.

I'm sorry for the long post

Hi Darasimidd my worry for you is if you allow your 2.5 Visa run out without renewing it , you will need to start all over again. When did your daughter became a British citizen? Going through the EU route will be quicker though but how would you cope without those support you have been receiving?

Thanks for your response. My daughter became a British citizen in 2016, I've started my fee waiver application for my 2.5 year leave to remain application. I will be submitting it this week, I'm just waiting for a medical reports. I called eu settlement resolution to cancel the application in September but the manager kind of convinced me that it will not affect my benefit because I already get it. I honestly don't want to take any chances again.

Thank you all for your supports

That means if you are granted a pre settled status you will qualify for a settled status in 2 years time God willing.. which is not bad as compared to 7.5 years ahead... it's a dilemma and I feel for you... I will advise you to postpone the EU settlement scheme for next year and investigate on the benefits aspect of it. You still have Dec 2020 to apply and it won't make any difference if you wait for next year....
Good luck
