Thaim Lady In Uk Under Eea Visa, Whats Her Entitlments

[dmax]

it states on her passport that business and work are allowed, it does not say anywhere on her passport that she is not entitled to public funds, she works on low income 16 hrs per week and is entitled to working families tax credits,

question - is she entitled to housing benefit ?

thanks in advance

You asked a similar question 8 days ago and I provided a link to a UKBA leaflet.

Here is that link again

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

Also, from European citizens; Rights and responsibilities

You do not have to work while you are living in the UK. But if you do not work, you must be able to support yourself and your family in the UK without becoming an unreasonable burden on public funds.

So it looks like the answer is no.

However, if she has been here long enough to obtain permanent residence then I think the answer may be yes. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I in this area can confirm.

If she is allowed to claim housing benefits then this would be a joint claim with her husband and his income would be taken into account when assessing any entitlement.
