Does someone have knowledge about universal credit

Post by f.khan88 » Mon Jul 18, 2016 7:32 pm

Hi all,

I am currently getting CHB, CTX and want to apply housing benefit but in the area where I live UC is fully available.

I have 5 children's, 2 of them and my wife are still on my dependent visa, which I had written to CHB and CTX departments (HMRC) they wrote me back and said it won't effect my wife immigration status as for tax credit purposes if one partner have ILR then both would be assume out of immigration control.... As UC is a new system and no one is very much fully aware about how does it work... I have spoken 5-6 times in detail over the phone with UC department because the benefit calculator shows a very strange UC entitlement almost same amount which I am currently getting only in CTX but UC representative told me reasonable amount but they can't answer my question

That would still my all 5 children's would get UC including the 2 who are under immigration control? Also would it effect my wife and 2 children's further extensions? And do anyone have idea about right benefit calculator as entitled to is ver strange and turn 2 us only work for British/ ILR family......

I am very confused because once I apply for UC then my current CTX would stop and I could not go back to that....

From April next year 2 children rules is coming in place, so I want to apply as soon as possible to avail housing benefit for all legally allowed children's.... I work full time and earn almost £27 K and she is house wife.

Any valuable advise would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

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.
