I sent photocopies of my wife's passport with her form.
We wanted to keep her passport in case we travel soon.
We'll see

In our case Shei was refused the NINO, and refused the HIPG.

On another topic, I have been claiming child benefit for her daughter - the HMRC told me I was entitled to it. However, I followed this up with the UKBA and they have told me (in two separate calls, one referred to a manager), that we were not entitled to make that claim, but I could claim for our UK born son.

We are on an FLR visa - I think it's a different story for ILR. The HMRC have now stopped our child benefits whilst they investigate further. Personally, I would rather go without the benefit than to risk their status in the UK. Remember, if you claim benefits that you are not entitled to - you are in breach of your visa conditions and may be sent home.

The annoying part is - UKBA say one thing, HMRC say another. Joined up Governement hey! My feeling is I can probably claim, but cannot due to inconsistencies in the information provided from both agencies - better to play safe. Also, just thinking of the fact I must prove I can support them without recourse to public funds.

It's annoying - I have never claimed any benefits before, and there's a girl (19 years old at most) in our street with 3 kids, never worked, has a house, and get's everything she wants. It seems I get nothing because my wife is from overseas??? But, I continue to pay taxes to keep this girl in her 50" plasmas and 2 weeks in Benidorm every year.

i think ukba dont know ,

anyway YOU'RE ENTITLED TO CLAIM WHAT EVER YOUR ELIGIBLE FOR, YOUR A BRITISH CITIZEN.

did you make the claim for child benefit in your name ADY ?

The most common exceptions are listed below.
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
