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.

The repayment plan should have been set up 4 years ago and kept to. If that had been done within the 2 months of her stay in hospital, his mother's debt would not have been reported to the Home Office and the debt would have been cleared by now.

Canadian passport holders can use the E-gates and not even interact with Border Force officials, unless her Canadian passport is placed on a blocked list or the passport RFID chip is not working.

@THO, this was in the news just a few days ago.

BBC News: UK men offered £10K to pose as dads in visa scam, BBC investigation finds

Hi My understanding was that if the tenancy agreement and council tax bill is in my husband’s name only, which in our case is, then I should be fine! Where in the article did it say that for Council Tax Reduction? From the link given- Finally, council tax reduction (CTR) can be claimed with UC, but...

Now that my daughter is turning 18 years old, will this have any impact on her application? Turning 18? Or do you mean she has turned 18? In the link to your previous thread, on 23 April 2022 you stated your daughter was 17 year 4 months. That would mean she became age 18 at the end of last year.

I’ve started up a thread months ago about this subject and was kindly informed by members of the forum that it’s ok for my husband to receive UC and council tax reduction only on his name ... You were not told it was ok to receive Council Tax Reduction. You were given a link to this, which advised ...
