Hello everyone,
This is a little far in advacnce of things but something I need to think about and discover.
I am in receipt of the lower rate contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance but may go up at a later date. I live with my parents at the moment due to my disability which stopped me from working, have been working a number of years hence being entilited to the "Contribution-based" ESA.
1) Now my questions are when it comes to the maintenance requirement for the settlement visa I will apply with me being most probably on ESA, living with my parents but my parents are willing to sponsor her and will allow us to live there as long as we need and they own their property. I have a small amount of savings, no where near £10,000. I don't have any debt and neither does she. Do you think we might have a problem with this area of the visa? My parents are retired.
2) If I have my own place before she arrives and get the rent/council tax paid for and am still in receipt of ESA and she arrives, will they stop any of my housing benefit/council tax or ESA?
Thanks in advance.
