I have called them two or three times and they were able to tell me what is the comparison level of the foriegn qualification in UK. You are right its their call centre number.

age limit for HSMP

Hi All,

Just wanted to find out if there is a chance for a person who is over 60 to get HSMP. The HSMP guide doesn't say any thing about the upper age limit, but will they really consider people who are over 60.

Thanks.

Child Tax Credit

I have read somewhere that Child Tax credit also comes under Public Funds.

I don't think there is anything available to HSMP holders (non ILR) except NHS.
