Re: Children born to British citizen father

I'm not sure the father could have claimed child benefit for non-British children not living in the UK even if he were alive. He could not. https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-abroad Universal Credit replaced the Tax Credit welfare benefit. From what I recall, Tax Credit was only meant to be a welfare ...

If they haven't been using your monthly income towards calculating your husband's UC monthly payment for the last half a year, it is likely he has had an overpayment.

You cannot exchange your licence but you can drive for up to 12 months on your foreign licence.

After 12 months you’ll need to take a theory test and practical test to get a Great Britain issued driving licence.

Interestingly, the 2 year extension can be offered even when breaking the "max 6 months absence in any rolling 12 months" condition, which remains broken even 2 years later, i.e. switching to settled will be denied.
