carers allowance

[badmaash]

my cares gets 62 pounds carers allowance and 40 pounds income support, and he earns 35 pounds a week from his job, he gets full housing benefit and pays 3 pounds a week council tax, is that enough income for him to bring his partner from abroad?

See the link below on how to calculate the requirement to be exempt from the financial requirement. My understanding is that Housing Benefit is not a qualifying benefit to claim exemption.

well it says he should have 114 pounds per week, his rent is fully paid. and he gets 62 per week carers allowance, 40 income support, and 35 from employment so thats 137, minus 3 pounds council tax thats 134, should that not meet the requirement ?

Hi there, my friend she have similar situation. She wants to bring her husband to uk, Her solicitor told her that she needs to have minimum £114.8 week left after paying her house and council tax. But she is confuse how to show her accommodation as she gets full housing benefit and on her contact it says only one person. On property servey it says 2 people.
