exemption from financal requirements on visa

Is it true you can get exemption from 18,600 on the financal requirements when applying for visa if you are on the disability living allowance, if this is true then what visa's can you apply for, like i was wondering if ok for spouse visa, thanks for replies as i am learning more each day from this site.

Yes it is true you can get an exemption, you will of course have to supply evidence of you receiving the benefit and so on as you would expect.

Edit: Its fine for the spouse visa too

I think Howerd knows a lot about this one.

And a lady member was considering it too, not long ago.

i was only asking has at moment i am on sick leave at work and my docotor has told me to look into disability living allowance as can not see me working again has have health problems.

I think you're right John, he did a thread on it a while back

I understand, good to be prepared

You might have to wait a day or so but there are chaps and chapesses on here who know about this.

Have a read through this one.

sorry i did not look at all the forums first before asking, it was i just surprised when seen it and wanted to ask straight away here lol.

You might find one or two other threads on the topic....

It has to be disability allowance not incapacity allowance, there is a difference, as John says, someone with more knowledge on this subject will post.

Here is a thread but it isn't the one @Howerd started;

So looking at the spouse visa, for my missus and step son you are looking at bout 5k, with the health surchage for them both and the visa's and then the flights, am i correct thinking this.

You will not be far out for sure

Thanks Timmers for all your help.

each

So you saying 5k for each.

thats how i understand it.
maybe someone else who has brought kids over can confirm

Wife + one dependant settlement visa cost = £1770 + 2 x £600 NHS surcharge = £1200 Total cost = £2970 + £1500 flight cost = £4470

@bigmac do you agree or have I missed something which is highly probable ? you're our resident mathmetician as you know

as i understand it--each applicant has to pay all the visa fees----so your calculation is just for the first stage Timmers---so adding the FLR and ILR fees--plus 2nd NHS charge--the total will be about £5000 for each member of the family. but i could be wrong--ive not really looked that far ahead in my case.
