Refusal of CB – no right to reside
As I don’t deal with immigration, can someone please help me a question on Child Benefit? Timeline as follows:
30th April 2014 – Husband arrived in the UK from Romania.
May 2014 – Husband started work full time following allocation of a National Insurance Number.
October 2014 – Wife arrived in the UK.
5th November 2015 – Husband finished work following an accident.
December 2015 – Wife was allocated a National Insurance number.
March 2016 – Husband applied for Personal Independence Payment. This was awarded in April 2016.
April 2016 – Wife made a successful application for Carer’s Allowance.
23rd June 2016 – Children arrive in the UK.
September 2016 – Children placed into school. Wife applied for CB. Refused as failed HRT.
December 2016 – MR – Decision upheld
March 2017 – CB reclaimed and refused.
July 2017 – MR – Decision upheld.
Husband applied several times for ESA but was refused.
Applied for UC March 2019 – Refused as failed HRT.
March 2020 – Appeal successful, UC put into payment from March 2019.
They applied for settled status in 2019 which was granted.
Would the client have had any entitlement to CB in 2016/17?
