If so then the application for visa will be just the same as for the normal Partner/Spouse Visa.
The exception will come in Appendix 2 when the applicant would skip to Part 4 Maintenance for those exempt from the financial requirement
To be able to do this the applicant will need to submit documentary evidence of:-
- Eligibility of exemption due to Carers Allowance
- Documentary evidence of adequate maintenance and accommodation.
This would require proving a net income after deduction of total housing costs that is equal to or greater than the current Income Support rate
Currently this is £112.55 per week
If the net income of the b/f of your friend (after deduction of all housing costs) is £112.55 or more then they can move ahead with the application.
A good starting point is to review the needed application forms which can be found on the UKBA website.
