will claiming benefits affect husbands application

If I am claiming child benefit or child tax credits will this go against my husbands application for a visa to join us in the UK?

No it won't, those benefits are exempt.

haz2010, you tell us nothing about yourself, so it is impossible to answer your question.

Are you British? EEA? Or if not EEA, what is you UK immigration status?

I am British and my partner is Ghanaian and living in Spain.

#that being the case, those benefit claims are totally OK.

so what about income support or jobseeker allowance would those affect it?

Theoretically no but in practice probably yes, as benefits are geared to support the entitled claimants, no others.

As I may also be entitled to working tax credit, I am assuming that this is also okay.

Many thanks for everyones help.
