People over 60 years old in England are entitled to get medicines and some tests (X-rays, blood tests, etc) for free no matter their immigration status, as long as the patient is registered in a practice and these medicines and tests are prescribed by a UK GP or consultant. Could you post the link ...

I live in England(London) and they will be visiting from India. Sorry, I just crossed posted with you. For NHS England - They can consult with a GP without charge, but other things must be paid for. e.g.Blood tests taken in the GP surgery but sent away for testing, must be paid for. Hospital All ot...

Any NHS charges will have 50% added to your bill. NHS

NHS England can refuse treatment if the estimated cost is not paid up front unless a doctor states it is urgent life saving treatment, but even if it is urgent, you are still billed at 150% of the national NHS cost.

As mentioned above, I suspect that the child will have to apply under some other provisions of the Immigration Rules. They will need to pay the full fees and IHS for that. You might want to buy health insurance for your baby until they have been granted a visa. Page 41 5.17 A child born to a person...

I've just found this link that might help you understand what Public Funds you can have? Check if you have the right to reside for benefits https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/claiming-benefits-if-youre-from-the-EU/before-you-apply/check-if-you-have-the-right-to-reside-for-benefits/ Note that...

However it would be the consequences as the non-eu family members entered as dependents and got BRP issued under the same grounds . I wonder how the DWP look at the declarations given by the sponsors and the dependents at the initial state where they clearly stated that they would not become the un...

Thanks , Amber for spelling out so precisely. I may be repeating the question as I assume that I couldn’t asked properly. As you said benefits (including training) are subject to the eligibility set out by the DWP. It's the government who set out what are Public Funds: just as the government can en...

The OPs question was whether claiming public funds would impact on their future settled status application, my answer was no, for which I stated “therefore claiming public funds or support isn’t an issue”. You have then proceeded to discuss eligibility to public funds which was not the OPs question...

This is the gov.uk link that you can read for yourself, to confirm that you can apply for the 30 hours free childcare. https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare Your immigration status To be eligible for 30 hours free childcare, you must have a National Insurance number and at least one of the foll...

Nonetheless that doesn’t change what I said, they are not subject to immigration control and do not need to worry about claiming public funds. That does change what you stated, which was- If you have pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme, you are not subject to immigration control there...

Income based ESA has now been replaced by Universal Credit which has different rules. We don't know if he is on the the disability and health condition elelement of Universal Credit (plus other eleements of UC) as he seem to think he is CB ESA (replaced by New Style ESA). OP should be looking at his...

Just adding that even somebody with Settled Status will need to prove they are allowed to have public funds from the UK, just a British citizen or migrant with ILR has to do. You might be able to claim benefits if you’re from the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland and you live in the UK...

If you have pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme, you are not subject to immigration control therefore claiming any public funds or support isn’t an issue. Only Settled Status on the EUSS gives access to UK public funds. For public funds with pre-settled status on the EUSS, they must m...

And there is no holiday on Universal Credit from jobseeking/looking for more hours/looking for a better paid job, even if the claimant has a holdiday in the UK: the claimant must be avaible to work, or attend the Job Centre if told to do so.

You certainly have to notify them if you are going to be away for two weeks or more. If it is abroad, you have to tell the relevant benefit office/offices EVERY time you want to travel abroad, even for a visit. Claiming benefits if you live, move or travel abroad ... Benefit fraud You’re committing...

Do i need to tell Universal credit team that I am going on Holidays? Holiday is less than a month.

If that holiday is outside the UK, you always need to inform the relevant benefit agency staff (in this case Universal Credit) that you are going to be leaving the UK, even for a holiday.

She is working but receiving benefits(universal credit).
Would she still qualify to sponsor S a parent.?.

If you are asking if she can use income related welfare benefits like Universal Credit to meet the £18,600 financial requirement, the answer is no.

Can I clarify what you meant by 'my wife wasn't working' please? Did you mean she's currently unemployed, or employed but on maternity leave? FYI - she was employed at that time but obviously she was on maternity leave. After I wrote that I realised that I should have put "not paying her Type 1 (PA...

Have to blame ourselves on reading an outdated guidance so we thought she met one of exceptions criteria for receiving the claim.

What country is your wife from?

Initially, I was the one who applied for the child benefit, but we saw a message popping up while filling the application form that it's recommended that the carer with lower income should apply for it instead. As a result, it ended up her applying for it. Just got ourselves to blame for if it turn...

Sorry, let me explain my situation in more detail. My partner, who is a holder of a PBS dependent visa, applied for child benefit last year and received the payment. However, we later realised that she may not be eligible for the benefit due to the "No Public Fund" clause in her visa. We contacted ...
