Insofar as there are no additional public funds paid because of her presence, then no, it will not affect her application and she does not state she claims public funds.
All your reasons are about ignorance of the law, that doesn’t fit what the DWP would expect to see, it’s still worth a go. Remember that when you apply for an immigration application in time, your current leave continues, as is, under section 3(C) of the Immigration Act, so that one doesn’t really w...
When you can backdate You can only backdate your claim if you have a good reason - for example a close relative died or you were given wrong advice by the Jobcentre. You'll usually need to have looked for a job and been available for work from the day you want your JSA to start. If this wasn't poss...

You can claim UC as you’re British, it should not effect your wife’s settlement insofar as no additional benefits are paid in respect of her, assuming you will not have other tenants on the tenancy but for you and your wife, that should be ok. Your older child, I assume has NRPF, there is a potentia...
As the children are subject to immigration control there is a risk that the Home Office could view public funds claimed for their presence could breach their restrictions. However, in practice I have never seen this happen and considering the legal duties to safeguard the welfare of children in any ...
If you are British/settled then it’s fine if you claim PIP and will not affect your spouse’s application. In fact, it’s an exception to the general financial requirement for a spouse visa.
Latest from Home Officer partnership briefing: In March-April 2024, the Home Office is running a small-scale ‘private beta’ launch by email invitation to a small number of BRP holders to help develop and ensure an optimal customer experience. Only BRP holders who receive an email invitation need to ...
The Immigration Law Practitioners Association Is reporting the following: From this month emails are being sent inviting holders of biometric residence permits to create a UKVI account.

Ok two things; 1. OU courses are always considered part-time for UC, but you’d not be entitled to Carer’s Allowance/Element if you’re studying more than 21 hours per week. 2. Student income can reduce UC, but that’s only if you’re entitled to a maintenance loan/grant, I’m not sure you are with an OU...
I'm not even sure what your point is? Section 4L and ARD are definitely new avenues for people to register and a whole lot easier, and I would assume cheaper, than judicial review. ARD is a simple application that costs, in my case at least, 80 pounds total. 1. That 4L would not apply to the OP. 2....
I am not saying that there are not circumstances where section 4L would apply, but that will require the applicant showing legislative unfairness, this is not something new, judicial review has always been available for nationality cases, equity prevails.
Section 4L BNA 1981 - this is not a catch all for anyone to apply, there has to be legislative unfairness, this does not mean that citizenship by “double descent” is now recognised. See example 10 on page 17 of the caseworker guidance - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/635914d5d3bf7f0b...
