Jazakhallah Khair for the information...
Yes she recives the £195 that you have mentioned above..and does not need to pay for the accomodation..
I was wanting that we have provided all the letters from the DWP and letters from the doctor... This should be a straight forward case and not as difficult as normal cases...
Jazakhallah Khair.. Waiting for your reply... KHAN
Sister why are you scared hope everything turns ok
Salaam alikum.
Qas receiving DLA means you do not need to meet the financial requirement of £18600.
Use this with your application (provided my a great forum member) and input your own data.
Following the Upper Tribunal case of Ahmed [benefits; proof of receipt; evidence] Bangladesh [2013] UKUT 84 [IAC] and the Immigration directorate instructions Chapter 8 Section FM 1.7A Family Members - Maintenance And Accommodation (click) (include a copy) at page 3, paragraph 5.2 , staff considering an application for entry clearance, leave to remain, further leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain must demonstrate calculations detailing the actual financial position of the applicant/sponsor in all cases that fall for refusal using the following formula:
A – B ≥ C
A minus B is greater than or equal to C.
Where:
A is the projected income (after deduction of income tax and national insurance contributions);
B is what needs to be spent on accommodation; and
C is the amount of Income Support an equivalent British family of that size can receive.
For the purpose of income, benefit income can be used as income as per Immigration directorate instructions Chapter 8 Section FM 1.7A Family Members - Maintenance And Accommodation, Page 2, paragraph 5.1(a). No benefit income is said to be excluded in the Immigration directorate instructions. I have calculated all figures as weekly as per the benefit entitlement letters (included). For C, the income support applicable amounts for my family unit, I have used the latest April 2013 income support rates as per the DWP figures (included).
Therefore,
A, income is:
Employment and Support Allowance = £121.65
Disability Living Allowance = £74.00
Total income = £195.65 per week
B, accommodation costs:
Nil
Total accommodation costs = £NIL per week
C, income support applicable amount:
An amount for a couple = £112.55 per week
The total income support applicable amount for my family unit including my partner =£112.55 per week
A at £195.65 – B at £NIL= £195.65
As £195.65 is greater than C at £112.55 I satisfy the requirements as per Ahmed [benefits; proof of receipt; evidence] Bangladesh [2013] UKUT 84 [IAC] and Immigration directorate instructions Chapter 8 Section FM 1.7A Family Members - Maintenance And Accommodation (include a copy) at page 4, paragraph 5.2. Therefore, my application should be granted.
Furthermore, I have savings of £6000 which would be an additional tariff income of:
£6000 divided by visa duration of 130 weeks = £45.15 per week
Moreover, all the benefits I receive will be paid at the same rate when my partner joins me, even though some applications will be changed to joint applications. There will be no additional recourse to public funds when my partner joins me. This was key in the case of Yarce which held that:
“It seems to us that, since these issues involve mixed fact and law, an appellant in an immigration appeal must be able to demonstrate to the judicial fact-finder, either that the actual financial position on arrival will be such as to make it unnecessary to rely upon benefits in order to provide a standard of living equivalent to that available on means tested benefits, or that the relevant law bears on the circumstances of the family, in such a way that there will be no additional recourse to public funds in doing so.”
I have supplied enough evidence, and explained the case clearly to show that we satisfy the adequate maintenance and accommodation requirement. Thus the application should be granted immediately.
You will need a letter from your parents saying that you and your partner have a room for your exclusive room.
I applied in 10/07/13 , and my status is still the same
and it has not changed since i applied in Islamabad.
Has any one received VISA having the same situation, or if you know anyone that their status was like this ( FORWARDED TO ISLAMABAD OC ) and then they got visa.
please let us know , because this is annoying.
hahaha momo tum bhi na oct ko submit kiya uar itni bechaini areh ham sab kab se wait kar rahe hain ik dusre k liye dua karo sab
