Home Office reverses decision to make stroke victim's wife leave UK

Either sense prevails or they realise people are getting fed up of their attitude. It was only a few days before that the other side of this story was publicised.



The wife of a British stroke victim told by the Home Office that he must become the sole carer for their two young children has been told she will receive a right to remain visa after the Guardian highlighted their plight.

The Home Office had previously insisted Leah Waterman had to return to the Philippines, leaving her husband, Simon – who uses a wheelchair, requires 24-hour supervision to keep him alive and cannot speak, write or reliably understand what is said to him – as the sole carer for their two young British children.

I'm pleased to hear that for the family's sake , thanks for sharing that story .
It's not the first time that it's taken bad publicity to get them to reconsider a bad decision .

thinking about this--it struck me surely the husband must be in receipt of those disability benefits which would exempt him from the financial requirements anyway ?

Jobsworth boxes need to be ticked in the correct order ?

Valid point
