UK Benefit question

Post by gtx2010 » Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:44 pm

I am British citizen working full time, and earning around £2500 after tax every month. My wife just received her Indefinite Leave to remain and not working at the moment. Would she be able to claim any benefit at all?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Has your wife previously worked in the UK? Is she unable to work due to illness or disability?

No she never worked, she arrive here in 2010 on spouse visa. She is able to work but she is studying at the moment for IELTS and PLAB so that she can work here as a doctor.

Many Thanks
