Blood tests; if not carried out at the GP surgery; have to be paid for. You could contact the Trust for a bill. In England, you can contact the OVM (Overseas Visitor Management) Team at the hospital. If you live in England, the Trusts in NHS England must refuse secondary treatment (at hospital) unti...

I think “claim” in this context refers to the act of receiving public funds that a foreign national is not entitled to. I think so too and as I said above, the OPs honesty in her claim form has meant that this was caught be the benefit staff and she has not taken any public funds; she never took an...

1. In this post the OP is specifically worried that they’ve claimed Child Benefit and breached their immigration conditions. You have started to advise (although it was incoherent) without actually knowing what the client’s status is. If it’s a person with LTR under Appendix EU of the immigration r...

However, I am here as a moderator to correct your poor advice and misinformation which is unfortunately all too common in relation to benefits. I give the links for the posters to read but you are reluctant to do so. You get annoyed when asked for links, delete those posts and close the thread. Why...

I suggest you let the OP answer before jumping to conclusions. Please don't keep taking any corrections or asking for links, as a personal attack: we are here to help people. Because I am aware that you imposed self exile on yourself when you didn't like some private posts that people sent you, I d...

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?

@secret.simon knows EU Free Movement laws and the Brexit Withrawal Agreement.

Do you have limited leave to remain under Appendix EU of the immigration rules i.e. pre settled status under the EU settlement scheme? through I realised I wasn’t eligible cos I had no access to public fund. Pre-Settled status does not grant access to UK public funds and that was tested in court by...

Can any one help me with any relevant information on what I can do.I was misled by a church member to apply for child benefit for my son because he is British.after putting the application through I realised I wasn’t eligible cos I had no access to public fund.(my stupidity).I tried to call Hmrc to...

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...

So the PM has just announced visa fees and IHS to be raised "significantly".

To raise over one billion, which is money needed to partly fund the salary raise given to the public sector workers.

Only at the single rate and no housing or CTR at all. UC doesn't give any payments towards a mortgage. UC might pay some towards the rent if you are renting, under the UC Housing Element (it rarely covers all the rent); I assume you are talking about the medium.co article about having a NRPF partne...

Hello I am British and my 3 children are all British. My partner is, however, on spouse visa I have recently lost my job and my partner isn’t working. Without compromising my partner’s ILR and citizenship application, can I put in a claim for Universal credit? Only at the single rate and no housing...

Hi there, if I am a dual citizen and my wife in a non-EU with pre-settled status, does it mean she will have to apply for settled status by post? What if she tries to do it via app - will they refuse her in this case? We also have a child, who is an EU citizen and holds settled status - can this he...

So there is scope to claim child benefit and council tax support/reduction in your case, the latter having a means test. Please post the gov.uk link for the OP (and others) that confirms that Turkish nationals can have CTR. The OP has already said- We just don't want to cause any problems for our v...

We have a 3-year-old child, and we are on a skilled worker visa (Tier-2), which states No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) in our BRPs. We are also Turkish citizens.. ... I can see exceptions for Turkey to claim child benefits; but especially for the 30 hours free childcare, in the immigration statu...

I should add that even if you can have public funds (homelessness assistance) the council can find you a private rental somewhere and that it their requirement done, even if you refuse that rental. Read Shelters website.

Read the relevant part of Public Funds - Homelessness Assistance.

I understand that it is irrelevant, but would you recommend mentioning it voluntarily ? If it can give an advantage in case of a rejection ? Such as human rights grounds or anything else? The visa is a tick box exercise. Just tick all the boxes and you will get the visa. Written before Brexit- Ther...

Hello, I currently receive Working Tax Credit. I am 69 years old and so I believe this will change to Pension Credit some time in 2024. November this year I will be applying for a Fiance visa for my Philipina GF. When we receive the Fiance visa (fingers crossed), will I still be able to claim Tax c...

New question: I need to apply for my parents who have had two 6-month visas.

I am a UK citizen currently living in Ireland with my (non-EEA) husband. He is a doctor and has been working in Ireland for the past 5 years.

Has your husband looked to see if he could get a Skilled Worker visa?
