thanks for reading as im sure this topic has been done to death but i cant actually find the exact anwers i need.
my hubby is non eea, im a british citizen, we have just got family permit back into uk, using surinder singh route.
i want to ask about benefits, we are hoping to go to the uk to live, what i want to know is during the first few months are we able to claim benefits such as job seekers allowance or housing/council tax benefit?
we will be job-hunting and also trying to look at setting up a small business but this will take a couple of months so are we able to claim benefits to start or are we not entitled?
also after we have got work/set up business then he would be applying for the residence card, would the fact we had claimed benefits when first arriving affect this application?
please help as having come so far i dont wnat to get anything wrong!
thanks a million
