I'm not sure the father could have claimed child benefit for non-British children not living in the UK even if he were alive. He could not. https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-abroad Universal Credit replaced the Tax Credit welfare benefit. From what I recall, Tax Credit was only meant to be a welfare...

All she can claim is child benefit and universal credit child tax element at the moment dont think she will be allowed to come at all only visit visa if children apply when they are 18 and over in future.

Ah I see, I just thought we wouldn't have to apply everything again, since we paid so much for first visa! If your Portugese flag is your country: all immigrants are treated the same now that the UK has left the EU and visas are expensive. The other thing that is no longer free for EEA citizens who...

However after half a hear of claiming UC the new DWP worker started asking my husband to provide information about my income!

If they haven't been using your monthly income towards calculating your husband's UC monthly payment for the last half a year, it is likely he has had an overpayment.

CR001 has given the correct advice, the OP states they have created a joint account but their claim was closed as subject to immigration control, that’s correctly what should happen. That is not correct. They must claim as a couple because they are partners and they must be linked. From the quote I...

My husband is a British citizen and he is working part-time and also on Universal Credit . I’m on a spouse visa in the UK and I’m not eligible to public funds. We opened a claim as a joint claim but DWP closed my account because I’m not eligible. My husband received the payments as a single claiman...

I should add that the baby is only covered for 3 months of free NHS if the mother had valid leave when she gave birth (could use the NHS without charge as she had a valid IHS). 5.8 An individual who pays the health surcharge is only entitled to free treatment on the same basis as an ordinary reside...

Are you aware that your baby is only entitled to free NHS care for the first three months, thereafter you are liable to pay at 150% of cost? Did you read this? Are you up to date with paying your and your babies NHS bills? I should add that the baby is only covered for 3 months of free NHS if the m...

You cannot exchange your licence but you can drive for up to 12 months on your foreign licence.

After 12 months you’ll need to take a theory test and practical test to get a Great Britain issued driving licence.

Interestingly, the 2 year extension can be offered even when breaking the "max 6 months absence in any rolling 12 months" condition, which remains broken even 2 years later, i.e. switching to settled will be denied. It seems that in this case, the extension is offered to allow the EU national to pr...

To the best of my knowledge, GP care and A&E is free even for overseas visitors. But if there is any hospital stay or treatment involved, even if that is referred by the GP or A&E, then that is chargeable, as mentioned above, @150% of NHS cost. Tests that the GP surgery sends away, must be paid for...

Blood tests; if not carried out at the GP surgery; have to be paid for. You could contact the Trust for a bill. In England, you can contact the OVM (Overseas Visitor Management) Team at the hospital. If you live in England, the Trusts in NHS England must refuse secondary treatment (at hospital) unti...

I think “claim” in this context refers to the act of receiving public funds that a foreign national is not entitled to. I think so too and as I said above, the OPs honesty in her claim form has meant that this was caught be the benefit staff and she has not taken any public funds; she never took an...

1. In this post the OP is specifically worried that they’ve claimed Child Benefit and breached their immigration conditions. You have started to advise (although it was incoherent) without actually knowing what the client’s status is. If it’s a person with LTR under Appendix EU of the immigration r...
