Re: EEA2 HOLDER CLAIMING UNIVERSAL CREDIT

Looking back at your posts, I see that you said you used Ireland and the Surinder Singh route route to get your wife to the UK. Correction, in this post it stated the wife is the British citizen and the husband is the non-EU citizen. Is somebody else using your account? https://www.immigrationboard...

Re: Child visa and UC

UC is a tax free top up amount on ur earning. UC is a means tested welfare payment for those who are in need. UC has work requirements for the claimants, which is why this benefit is for those of working age/those of UK state pension age who have a partner of working age. I assume the OP has other ...

Re: Advice for place to live until HO decision

When i will have right to work, i will not need Social Services help. I don't think you realise how expensive it is to live in London if you don't have the skills to earn a high wage. I'm assuming that if you had these skills, you would have come to the UK in your own right on a work visa, instead ...

Does the owner of the property know his tenants have done this?

You are not allowed to rent a property as a visitor and the owner of the property can get into a lot of trouble for this.

Re: UC

When they take into account their income your UC is reduced. Or the UC claim is refused because their household income is too high. This also happens when both in the couple are British citizens too, because Universal Credit is a means tested benefit. Those who have contributed to the UK over the p...

Re: Universal Credit & no-recourse of public funds in spouse visa.

As you might know that to apply for a council tax reduction and Job-seeker allowance, you need to have Universal Credit to get through the system. That's not correct- - Council Tax reduction is nothing to do with Universal Credit. You apply for this from your local council but be very careful as th...

Re: HOW DO I APPLY FOR NRPF STATUS TO BE REMOVED.

Both parents are legally responsible for the financial costs of bringing up their children. If you split up, and you’re the parent who doesn’t have the main day-to-day care of the children, you may have to pay money to the person looking after the children. This is called child maintenance.

The father must also pay towards the keep of his children, as well as the mother. Contact the Child Support Agency if he is refusing to do this.

And if she has right to claim benefits why not on this bad time I'm sure you would do the same. It doesn't appear that they can claim bebefits from the UK under EU rules. They are meant to be dependant on their EEA sponsor AND their EEA sponsor has to exercising treaty rights at all times. It seems...

Re: Universal credit for non EU Dependent parents

For now as we are still in the EU transitional period till 30 June 2021, you can still rely on your old EEA family right to secure benefits. If they are using the EU rules to be/remain in the UK by stating they are financially dependent on an EEA citizen, then I don't see how they can now ask to be...

The Child Benefit should be in your name and then she is not claiming public funds. As said, the extra Working Tax Credit benefit money you are claiming for you wife (Second Adult Element) is allowed on that benefit, as you have a child. That is not classed as Public Funds. The WTC benefit and Child...
