Post by bwhope » Wed Oct 26, 2016 12:55 am

I am living with my parents in a 3 bedroom council house my dad is getting housing benefit, can I use this property for my spouses application as there is adequate room for my wife to join and my dad would let us stay here or would the fact that its a council house and him getting benefits afffect our application negatively, I earn over 18600 but live with parents and they dont charge me rent nor do I pay any council taxes or anything

You would need a letter from the Council as the landlords agreeing to your wife living in the property.

Do the Council know you are living there? Has your income been considered when the Housing Benefit was awarded to your parents?

The Home Office cross-check information with other Government departments, including Housing Authorities.

You will need to inform HB office of the change in circumstances and include your income for the benefit entitlement calculation.

...and I suggest you do this before submitting your wife's spouse visa application when checks will be carried out to avoid repercussions for your father claiming HB which he may no longer be entitled to with your level of income. :!:

You need 6 months payslips showing annual earnings of £18,600 pro rata.
