selling your house to bring your wife here, wow, you will be telling me next you will have to sell your own house to pay for you when you become old and put into a home

but--what puzzles me about this £18600 income rule---any immigrant allowed in cant claim benefits anyway.

and--lets be honest--anyone with an average mortgage would be hard pressed to manage on that sort of income anyway.

That's true too, Steve ... I kid you not!

tricky question, I'm not sure how many people do have to sell their house, normally a charge is put on it, but obviously if its empty sooner or later it will have to be sold.

and if they didn't have a partner then why would they need a house if they are in a care home, i doubt many would ever go back home.

i think its unfair if there is a partner still living there

and if they dont sell their house, who will pay the £500wk+ fees
