I dont know if BY CALLING UK border agency for advise will help in asking what they think?

Im not sure i dont know if they will or not others may know.

Maybe worth finding out discretly if its ok in your accomdation to have another adult and a child.
Also how many rooms other than a Kitchen and Bathroom do you have in the premises? As with two adults and a child over a certain age you will need to rooms other than the two mentioned above which can be used as bedrooms.

hi Ron
sorry to hear about the job.
it seems you are allready on public funds and £70 a week may not streach it, having a child to support will add to the problem, i think government funding is about £90 for a couple a week. The £12,500 in the bank may help but eventually will run out. Unless you can find a job/part time job or your wife is able to work with qualifications or can provide a letter of a job offer will look better. you also have the task of the council allowing the extra people in the flat. Sound really unfair, especially you being ex-military, Yes border Agency may be able to advise further but they wont give you a definate yes or no. I wish you all the best, remember eventually if will come good.
