Carers allowance

Hello everyone
I just need some clarification.
My wife has came from Pakistan on a spouse visa ( 5 year route) and on her BRP it says no access to public funds she can apply for indefinite leave to remain on January 2021. I my self am a British national, working full-time and my wage is above what of financially required.
Around 9 months ago my dad (British national) had a stroke and my wife helps him with cooking cleaning etc my dad has started getting attendeance allowance

My question
Am I right to assume that if she claims carers allowance it will effect her visa when it comes to applying for indefinite leave to remain.

Thank you in advance

It’s a very tricky situation, carers allowance. Carer’s Allowance is a public fund, therefore, a person who is subject to immigration control, such as your spouse, should not claim it. However, there is an exemption, potentially, under EU law to allow a person who is subject to immigration control and has a British family member to claim. There are two conflicting Upper Tribunal cases, and one case concerning your situation at the Upper Tribunal at the moment. I suggest you wait until the outcome of that case, bearing in mind you can back date Carer’s Allowance 3 months, should your spouse need to claim.

Thank you amber, appreciate your reply.
