My application was refused yesterday for ILR SETM. My wife is a British citizen and we own our house outright. We both work part time and earn around £220 a week combined total and have 2 children. We don't claim any benefits and have savings in UK of £2500 which was shown.

The caseworker at the PEO has given extension to provide further evidence of finance to meet the requirement. They want more months payslips as well as we only gave 1 month each with employer letter.

Are they right in refusing the application. What can I do?

You should have supplied 3 months wage slips and corresponding bank statements.

Did you calculate adequate maintenance?

Hi,
I am sorry to hear the outcome of your ilr!
Could you explain more about the refusal and what they said, I have appointment on 10 June am bit worried!
My British wife not working she claiming child tax credit and child nini fit she also use to claim working tax credit but they stoped it and sent us letter sayin that we have ovetpayment of £5000!

I have appointment on the 10 June

My wife use to work then took one year maternity she was gettin statuary maternity allowance now it stoped and she use to get working tax credit but they suspend it and sent us overpayment of £5000 we speaking against it as they count her statuary maternity allowance as income and on ther website it shouldn't be counted as income ,
My wife was due to go back to work last month and find that her position was given to some1 else now she opening case against her employer as discrimination as it state on her maternity that she would get her position wen she return from maternity
I am so stressed if you could take your time and advise about this matter
Many thanks,

I assume you have two children; therefore, you would need to show a NET income (after deducting rent and council tax) of:
£263.81

Based on an average weekly income of £303.31 + £70.32 + £34.05 = £407.56 and rent/council tax of £129.25 per week. You appear to satisfy adequate maintenance.

The Tax Credits (Definition and Calculation of Income) Regulations 2002, Reg. 4(1)(h)

This is effectively a disregard of up to £100 for each week of SMP, OSPP, ASPP or SAP received in the tax year. Note that where the rate of SMP, OSPP, ASPP or SAP received is less than £100 per week, only an amount equivalent to that received in each week of SMP, OSPP, ASPP or SAP in the tax year can be disregarded from the total pay and SMP, OSPP, APL or SAP income for the year. For example, if £80 SMP, OSPP, ASPP or SAP is received in any week, only £80 can be disregarded.
This is different from the income tax treatment. All SMP, OSPP, ASPP and SAP is included as income for income tax purposes.

You include evidence of the savings and write an additional letter staying you have savings of x amount.

Is it definitely I meet the finance requirement?

Based on what you've stated, yes.

How much shall I put on we're it ask how much is my income after tax deduction as I say last tree month had different wages!

Add the last 3 months' wage slips divide by 3 and that's the average monthly wage.
