Right to Reside & domestic violence
Thu 19-Feb-09 12:06 PM |
My question is: can my french national client with 2 children claim IS? She is still married to her french national husband but they separated in 2005 due to domestic violence. She can claim JSA (IB) as a former worker but is there ANY way she can claim income support? She had to give up her last job due to child care problems...
She has been in the UK since 2001, was supported by her husband until 2005/6 when she worked, then claimed income support in 2007 and then found work in 2008.
Thank you!
