Set (M) benefits query

[drabiz]

Hi Forum members,

I am applying for ILR for my wife using form SET (M) after 28 Oct 2013. She is eligible for ILR after two years (completed from Nov 2011 - Nov 2013) as per the prior July 2012 rules.

Please could you answer my following query regarding ILR for my wife;

a) The new KOLL will apply on her as we are applying after 28 Oct 2013.

For Life in UK - she has cleared the LIUK test.

For English - she has a bachelors degree (degree certificate available) from India (university on PBS calculator) taught in English and a letter from university stating that course was taught in English. Would this suffice or does she need to clear an English language test in UK too?

b) The form asks that if my wife or I (sponsor) are receiving any public funds. We both are not receiving any public funds currently.
She has never received any public funds but I had received public funds in 2012 for seven months (HB, CTB and JSA-IB) as I had lost my job ( I was an ILR then) - my wife was not included in my benefit claim. Since then I have been in a good job for over an year and claiming no benefits.
Do I need to declare this in her application or not (as we are claiming nothing now)?

Look forward to your views and a quick response.

Regards
Drabiz
