Adult Dependant - Clarification needed

Post by Kinetic » Mon Nov 12, 2012 9:59 pm

My wife and I have both been UK citizens for the past 3 years. My wife's mother wants to come live with us, and I have read the rules on Elderly Dependants.
You can apply to join a settled person in the UK if:

- You need long-term personal care to perform every day tasks, such as washing and cooking.
- The care you need is not available in the country where you are living, either because it is not available and there is no person in the country where you are living who can reasonably provide it or it is not affordable.
- Your sponsor can show that he or she is able to provide adequate maintenance, accommodation and care for you without having to rely on public funds. Your sponsor will need to sign a sponsorship undertaking form to confirm that they will be responsible for your care without relying on public funds for a period of at least 5 years.
What I am unsure about is if ALL 3 of these conditions need to be met, or only 1 of them? My wife's mother does not need any care, but we are able to sponsor her and prove that we can provide adequate maintenance, accommodation and care.

Is this good enough, or do we need to meet all 3 conditions?

Thanks for any advice that you can give.

All three need to be met. It seems that the first two are not met in your case.
