Thanks

None, apart from income-based JSA if the non-Brit has worked.

Thanks for your reply Wanderer.
Considering that I claim Child Ben and Working Tax credits, (I am British) do you think we will be refused if we apply for UPV?

If you want more info please refer to my previous post.

Easier if you keep to one thread to save dodging about looking for the full story. :?
You are entitled to claim benefits as a BC...but not additional amounts/benefits because you're with you non-BC partner.

Thanks again even if I still didn't understand.

Basically working tax credits are claimed jointly even if my partner is not working and are paid into my account. Is it ok or not?
