Your wife claiming income support will not affect you
it is the same as JSA

i think the point is the wife needs to be showing she is actively seeking work, in order to show she is a job seeker and exercising treaty rights, which she is not if she has just had a baby. she would need to show that she intends to return to work at some point -when does she intend to do this?

thanks so much for your reply,my cover letter with my application stated that due to d pregnancy of our baby n because she gave birth last 3month,november 29th 2011 to be precise,thats why she was unable to work for now but she is ready to return to work as soon as she get an offer.i also includeded all her previous payslip up to when d pregnancy was 5months,cus she had complication n was adviced by gp that she should do light work for that period,a cover note from the gp stamped was also included with d application,but my worries is she has been placed on income support by job centre plus in d last 1week as all effort to stop income support was turn down from job centre cus they said that she has a baby who is just three month old so she will only b placed on income support for now untill she get a job.but during the time which i apply,she was still on job seeker and a letter confirming that was included with my application.thanks so much pls,do u think the income support will affect my residence card application pls?
