Spouse VISA - benefits -

[Nzar78]

hi everyone,
i will be going through a spouse visa application ( i am the sponsor ) in the next month, but there is something that i couldnt find an answer to it.
Basically i am in the receive of two benefits ( i dont know if i should call them that ):

1- Bereavement support allowance
2- Child tax benefit

do i have to include this in the application ? also do i have to add their ammounts to the total annual income on top of my employment salary ?

they clearly ask in the application if the sponsor is receiving any benefits, should i include all of it ?

Many thanks in advance

If the form asks about benefits, then yes you have to declare it. HO will obviously see the payments on your bank statement.

also do i have to add their ammounts to the total annual income on top of my employment salary ?

No. Benefits do NOT count towards the financial requirement that must be met.

Yes.
