Me and Wife was exempted from LIT UK at the time of ILR that was last year oct 2011, We now going to apply for naturalisation this October 2012 .

Do we have to give LIT uk now before we apply for naturalisation.

mittal_siddharth: did you apply under HSMP(JR) category. That’s the only reason I can think of why you didn’t have to take LiUK test at the time of ILR. But at the time of Citizenship, you do need it.

From a previous post: as my HSMP falls under Judicial Review.
It looks as if you're right Linkers.

in that case would agree with Vinny's post (Linkers a person may also be exempt from the LIUK test due to age/mental incapacity)

Thanks Greenie. I knew about this but thought if they were both exempted, then it would be very unlikely that they both had any disability.
