Hi,

I just made an update to my post regarding this, i'll link it for you, but according to
DL Guidance
Asylum Policy Instruction
Discretionary Leave
Version 7.0
Published: 18 August 2015
Section 4, 4.3 on page 14
(click it)

It does state that those granted DL have recourse to public funds. Furthermore i would add that check you visa documents and see if it states the "No Recourse to public funds" condition. If it does not, the i think the general idea is that you would not breach immigration rules for claiming benefits.

I would like to link this post as i think it is relevant and please read this as it will give you a better understanding, Maybe. Click here and click here.

I hope this helps. Also, if you read the paragraph 6 immigration rules click here this will give you a better idea of what is clarified as public funds and what might not come under public funds.
