vanbobble Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi there, as per the topic title I would be grateful if someone could confirm whether a redundancy payment due to my wife (here on FLR) which will come from the National Insurance Fund would be prohibited due to the "no recourse to public funds" stamp on her Visa / Bio Card?

Richard W Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Normally, redundancy payments are made by the employer, so there would be no question of recourse to public funds. If the employer is insolvent, then I don't know. Logically, they should be covered by the insurance nature of National Insurance, and should not count as recourse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paully Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think you can argue that they are not public funds for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Indeed, usually NIC based benefits do not count as public funds under the immigration rules; if you've paid sufficient contributions you are entitled to claim the benefit. Have a read of Public Funds; pages 5 and 6 for what does count as public funds under the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
