Your Local Council have advised you correctly.

Yes i was aware of WTC & CTC in joint names, but never know of Child Benefit. I'ts all knew to me as this is my 1st child.Casa wrote:Just as an aside, are you aware that you can claim WTC & CTC as long as these are claimed in JOINT NAMES and Child Benefit in YOUR NAME ONLY, without affecting your wife's future visa applications?
The council already know of her status and said i have to enroll her on the application for local housing, but i will get a single with 1 child rate.Casa wrote:Be wary of claiming Housing Benefit. This can only be awarded at the single person + child rate although joint earnings will be used for the benefit calculation.
You should most certainly be claiming Child Benefit. The payment should go into your own account.
You can only get the single and 1 child (number of bedrooms) after the baby is born.FuzzBall wrote:

It be only my earning calculated as i'm the only one working. I will make the application at the council office it's self and get them to fill it out directly. With me as the sole applicant.
He won't get WTC as he earns too much. The poverty cut off for CTC with one chld is about 26K, based on the previous years earnings.Casa wrote:Just as an aside, are you aware that you can claim WTC & CTC as long as these are claimed in JOINT NAMES and Child Benefit in YOUR NAME ONLY, without affecting your wife's future visa applications?
