Re: Student dependant switching

There is no such category. What you actually mean is create a UK company which obtains a Skilled Worker sponsor licence and then be assigned a valid Certificate of Sponsorship to in turn sponsor yourself. That would mean 1. establishing a UK company 2. applying for a Skilled Worker sponsor licence 3...

Re: British citizenshiip application rejected for wrong reasons

Please confirm what type of leave you had, was this under the EU settlement scheme or not? When did you apply for ILR, the exact date? Are there any compelling or exceptional circumstances, eg were you planning on joining the armed forces or needed British citizenship for a job or travel?

Remember that your spouse will need to complete a UC claim themselves, generate a joining code and you use that code to add your spouse to your claim.

Re: How to add wife to universal credit claim

You just report change and add partner, she will go through the habitual residence test again, when she has ILR she will pass and the couple standard allowance should be awarded.

If you are still a UK resident when working overseas then the UK has taxing rights on your worldwide income.

This income will be included in calculating your Higher income child benefit charge.

Re: Eligibility for Child Benefits as a British Citizen earning abroad with a Working Spouse on Skilled Worker Visa

Assuming your partner is subject to immigration control, eg no recourse to public funds restriction, then your partner cannot claim child benefit. In terms of you applying for child benefit, you must be ordinarily resident in the UK, although not defined in legislation, it can be complex, to underst...

Re: DLA Claim for Child still under visa by parent with ILR status

DLA is a public fund, as such your child must not be subject to immigration control eg their BRP must not say “no recourse to public funds”. In terms of child benefit, it’s potential that you claiming child benefit could breach the child’s no recourse to public funds restriction, as public funds are...

Re: Is ILR settled status?

Settled status is indefinite leave to enter/remain. Pre-settled status is limited leave to remain under the EU settlement scheme. Benefit entitlement depends on (a) your immigration status and (b) eligibility conditions for the specific benefit.

Re: Child Benefit while on pre-settled status (EU scheme)

The child should obtain status under the EUSS but it isn’t a requirement to get child benefit (that’s based on parent’s status).

Why are you not eligible? It shouldn’t be approved if you are subject to immigration control. You can contact HMRC child benefit helpline on 0300 200 3100 to withdraw a claim.
