Got my FLR but also curious...

In other words, even though it's technically possible (with knowledge of the legislation) it's safer to leave well alone until you have your hands on that ILR

They will be able to claim those benefits.

Since my wife was here on a spouse visa we have claimed child beneift and tax credits.

It even has a section on the ILR forms as to what benefits were claimed and in who's name, and as stated earlier, the claims were in my name and we had no problems in being issued with her ILR.

That is exactly what I said in my post rusty

You actually picked a quote out of context. Sorry if it wasn't more clear:-

Now, there are some other benefits such as, Contribution Based Jobseeker's Allowance, Housing Benefit and Council Tax benefit which although may technically be claimed under certain very specific conditions,
I would strongly suggest not to make any claims unless you are 100% certain of the appropriate legislation and can secure written confirmation of such from the legal teams of each concerned department.

The complete body of my post above that, plus all the links I provided are indicating all the benefits available for legal claiming and exactly how to go about that.

Apologies for not fully reading your post, I thought you were referring to all benefits when you said not to claim.

I know that you always give clear, concise advice, keep up the good work.
