Tier 4 dependent visa-Housing benefit and job-seeking allowa

[alan132]

I am holding Tier 4 dependent Visa.
Can I claim for housing benefits and job-seeking allowance?

Thank you so much.

No you cannot. Your visa clearly states you have 'No recourse to Public Funds'.

[alan132]

At the back of my BRP, it is written "No Public Funds".
So, I cannot claim for Housing Benefit, Job-seeker allowance.
How about Council tax exemption for student?

[CR001]

You cannot claim benefits, housing benefit or job seekers.

Only a student can claim council tax exemption. Are you a student??

[alan132]

My husband is a student. I am holding Tier 4 dependent visa.

So, I cannot claim any of the following benefits:
Housing Benefit (X)
Income Support
Working Tax Credit
Child Tax Credit
Pension Credit
Universal Credit
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (X)
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment.

Am I correct?
