Hi back England with the wife and 11mnth son is it possible to claim tax credits if your wife has a settlement visa that states no recourse to public funds?

Hi

Yep you can still claim, although you have to put both your name and your wife's name on the claim form (Don't worry, nobody else understands why they have to put there wife's name on the form either, even though there wife's are not entitled to claim).

When I claimed my wife wasn't entitled to public funds but I was so claim away mate.
