Meeting Financial Requirement for ilr

Post by DavidT » Fri Jul 08, 2016 5:03 pm

My wife recently obtained her flr(m). We met the financial requirement of £18,600 by using my works pension of £17,500 together with cash savings which were readily available. In December this year I will be entitled to my State pension and wish to tie up my savings in an ISA or another form of investment.

When we apply for my wife's ilr will it be ok to combine my works pension with my state pension to meet the financial requirement ?

Also if i died shortly (god forbid) my wife (39 years old) would be entitled to 1/2 of my works pension. Would she be entitled to my old age pension or does it die with me ?


Many thanks
David

Also if i died shortly (god forbid) my wife (39 years old) would be entitled to 1/2 of my works pension. Would she be entitled to my old age pension or does it die with me ? See 'bereavement allowance (previously widow's pension) https://www.gov.uk/bereavement-allowance/overview

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Your UK state pension will die with you.
