I think the idea of "no benefits for x number of years" is not only a good idea, but would be an awful lot easier than this other suggestion.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple - allegedly.

So maybe the idea has some merits, but I can still see this is full of holes. Oh well, time will tell

That is actually already part of the proposals.
Instead of 2 years in UK as spouse before ILR (and able to claim benefits) it is proposed to be 5 years before ILR.

Has anyone actually taken time to read the proposals and the MAC report.

That's where I got the 5 years from.

It's mainly the income level that I'm moaning about.

So if I ILR is set at 5 years, what happens when the 2 year Spouse visa expires? FLR for those on a Spouse visa?
