Hello all, I would be grateful if you can shed some light to my situation.
Im on leave to remain with no recourse to public funds.
I have a british partner and british child (who just started school)
My partner and i are claiming Child tax credit and child benefit. Partner is claiming housing benefit too for his apartment, council housing.
We have been claiming CTX and CB since 2012 when our child was born, my leave to remain was issued in 2014. So when i got my visa i didn't have a clue i was not entitled to claim on my own but relieved that we are entitled to receive these benefits due to my partner being british.
However, my partner is suffering clinical depression and it was getting really hard living with him so i went off and rented a house on my own. My family helped financially, as i was the main carer for my daughter i couldn't work full time or at all. My partner and i carried on our relationship, although he stayed in his flat a couple of days a week when he was feeling very low and coming to my house for the rest of 5 days say, we both didn't want our child to see him suffer, he also dealt better being on his own at times. We are in a relationship still and planning on getting married once things are back to normal.
But I'm still living in the house i rented, I'm registered at my partners flat with everything, even my small business (as me renting the house was only going to be for a short time i didn't bother changing address with banks etc) It only just occurred to me that maybe we are not classed as being together if we are not living full time?!??
I am applying in january, for my new leave to remain, what do you guys advice?
Thank you in advance.
