Thanks Simon. Will read that info and await further instructions...secret.simon wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 7:13 pmTo the best of my knowledge (and others will correct me if I am wrong), fee waivers will only apply if the applicant (in this case, the Ugandan mother of the children) is already in the UK. I do not think that a fee waiver can be applied for the initial application to enter the UK.

I see that you are relatively new to these forums. So here is a potted summary of UK immigration: Simply put, the UK immigration system is very hostile to all but those who bring either wealth or knowledge/expertise into the UK. That s also why the fees are so relatively high.
Note that I am not a lawyer, merely somebody who can google reasonably well. Wait for others to advise further.

https://www.gov.uk/going-to-hospital-benefitsGoing into hospital if you get benefits
You must tell the office that pays your benefit as soon as possible if you:
go into hospital for one night or longer
go into a care home or rehabilitation centre for one night or longer
will miss a Jobcentre Plus appointment because you’re in hospital or have a medical appointment
A friend or relative can call for you.
Your claim might be stopped or reduced if you do not report a hospital stay.
...
Who you tell depends on which benefits you get. You might need to report your change to more than one organisation if you get more than one benefit.
Why doesn't he send the kids back to their mum. It seems cheaper to do this. This way he can focus on his health. From your explanation, the kids are British obviously, so they can always come back at a later date.
