Exactly so.OhWow said: Unless I am missing something, it appears the NRPF partner would then not be taking Universal Credit (a Public Fund) as they are not eligible, but their capital and income are now used in the Universal Credit monthly payment that their settled "partner" (British citizen, ILR, EU Settled Status) is allowed to have?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0 -
Is this that much different to Child Benefit, which is also a Public Fund (although there are exceptions for citizens of some countries who have an agreement with the UK) where the NRPF partner is linked in that claim too? The partner who can have Public Funds claims the Child Benefit in their name, but their NRPF partner is linked to see if their earnings are over 50K.

There's no issue about how the benefits work. This thread wasn't about that - it was about the claim process.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.1
