Can anyone help me. I am British and would like to bring my partner over to the UK on a fiance visa. But I am worried our application will not be successful because of me being £20 short of the financial requirement for a couple (income support & carers allowance). With other benefits after all bill and rent are paid I have enough left over to cover the £20 shortfall a week with the other benefits i received. However, has i understand it, only income support & carer allowance are counted for the purpose of the financial requirement. I am getting carers allowance, dla for my son (I am not his Biological mum but i had him from birth i have a Special Guardianship Order). I received SGO allowance, Housing, child, child-tax credit benefit, and income support (this has reduce due to me receiving carers allowance).
Also, in regards to financial requirement it states Guardian allowance is acceptable but would Special Guardianship Allowance class as the guardian allowance
