What can my wife claim for

Post by brian1969 » Tue Nov 18, 2014 8:44 am

Hi

My wife has just got her ILR. She has been looking for work for the last 18 months on her own, but not found one yet.

What benefits can my wife now start claiming to help her find work and to help us out too.

Thanks

Now that she is no longer subject to Immigration control she can claim whatever benefits she is entitled to. This link may help;

2. Now she keeps threatening to take Benefits. I am not at all interested to take benefits as I am an IT contractor and working and getting enough money. If i take benefits, it may impact my IT Contracting jobs or credit history.
3. Also, she thinks if I give her divorce, she will get alot money from my end also good money for the maintenance funds - which she does not deserve at all. ( Kids are exceptional ).
4. In this situation, kindly help me what are my rights ?
5. I am thinking to leave the UK for few months ( 3 -4 months ) and go to India and stay for some time . And she is reluctant to come along with me. And says, she will stay in the UK and will claim benefits. Or Is It worth give divorce in India?
6. Kindly, can you suggest me , in this critical situation what options, do I have?
7. or Shall I wait and apply for the British passport and take the passport and go to another country and live there ? Even after that , do I need to pay for my wife's expenses?
8. Unfortunately, I did not see these posts before applying for ILR. Otherwise, I would not applied for my wife's ILR.
