Re: Mistakenly applied for child benefit while on presettled status

If your flag is correct and you come from Nigeria, what is the relationship to you of the EEA citizen who sponsored you to the UK?

Do you still have the relationship with that EEA citizen?

Re: ILR change in rules?

IHS is ring-fenced to the NHS anyway. But will the increase to the IHS to pay for the public sector wage rises, be ring fenced? The UK can't borrow the money to pay for their wage rises because that will stoke inflation to an even highter rate again, with all the problems for the country that cause...
