fred, housing benefit is tricky and complex.
Of course he is entitled to claim now.
The issue is just what happens when his wife arrives and how the council re-calculates.
Better to stop the claim a couple of weeks before she arrives on a restricted visa. Then make a new claim. Just based on the fact this benefit has complex conditions for a couple and she could find herself in some problem due to lack of understanding by council.
