child tex credit

Post by daiyan.suraya » Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:05 pm

I would just like to know whether it is ok for my wife to claim Child Tax Credits.

At the moment she is only claiming Child Benefit.

And if yes, is it best to claim it after my application decision has been made or is it safe to claim now? we have a spouse visa application pending..

Thanks

That should not cause an issue as it is available to Settled people in the UK to apply for these benefits.

As long as your wife meets the financial requirements set out for your VISA excluding these benefits in the calculation you should be fine.

Just remember that this benefit can NOT be counted towards the £18600 limit for new applicants wanting to come to this country
