hi,

my thai wife will return to uk to work next month, shes currently on maternity leave. she is on the eea family permit and has a valid 5 year resident stamp.

question ; is she entitled toworking family tax credits ? i know she isnt entitled to state benefits but if she is on low paid job then will she get the tax credits ?

thanks

Dmax take a look at the website that i sent in my pm to you,all the answers you need will be there im sure.

They have a section just for EEA route applications,rules &regs and they will no for sure what she and you will be entitled to for sure.

From the Home Office leaflet No recourse to public funds

a) I’m a member of the family of an EEA national - am I eligible for any benefits?

If you are living with another family member who is an EEA national – for example, your child or your partner – you may be eligible for the following benefits:

• Child benefit

• A social fund payment

• Attendance allowance

• Severe disablement allowance

• Carer’s allowance

• Disability living allowance

Yeesipha, if you have information which expands upon this, then I am sure other members would find it useful were you to post it in the open forum.
