Ile Status Can Claim Job Seekers Allowance

Featured Replies

Gentlemen, is this correct?

Can the wife claim JSA? What else?

Miscellaneous benefits

Unlike people with Limited Leave to Remain (LTR) in United Kingdom, ILR holders do have access to public funds. The wordings "No recourse to public funds" is not written in ILR holders' visas. As a result, they are able to claim job seekers allowances and other benefits which are usually available to UK citizens.

I am working but can I claim a reduction to my council tax as the wife isn't working?

re your first post, this correct ILE/ILR are permanent residents and have no restrictions imposed upon them about working or receiving benefits

but you have to qualify for JSA, it's not available to just anyone

re second question, no you can't

Thanks matey. If she has never worked in the UK, would she qualify for any benefits?

I thought I answered that

whilst your wife has no restrictions on claiming benefits, she can only receive those benefits she qualifies for, just like any other UK resident with similar rights

I can't give you a list, you'll have to check this out for yourself

Myself? <deleted> that, thats what 7by7 is for......rolleyes.gif

Yeh, I'll take a look on the relevant site now. Thanks all the same.

I guess that I wouldnt qualify either as Ive only ever paid class 3 voluntary contributions.
