UK, Ireland / Polish eligibility to claim benefits in the UK [30]
Hi,
I live in London with my polish fiancee, since we met she has never worked or even looked for work though she did go to the effort of getting a national insurance number when she moved here at the beginning of march 2009. This has been extremely hard as London is very expensive, I earn good money but sadly to support 2 has been a major strain on my finances and our relationship.
She ended our relationship last week, so I have had to leave and spend a week away while I work out what to do, I cant afford to rent 2 flats at the same time and support us both again and as there is no hope of her ever wanting me I just cant take looking after her any more not to mention I have been used enough as it is, I really do sound like a whining ***ch, apologies for that I will now get to my point.
She has no one in the UK, no friends as she never leaves the house, no one to turn to for help at all, in my experience during a couple of weeks between contracts this year I discovered I could not get any benefits due to her being my fiancee and she was not eligible for benefit? it was all very confusing and again a massive drain on me financially.
So now she is a single Polish woman living in London (living in the UK since march 2009) with no job, my question is, is she eligible to claim anything at all? I was hoping jsa and housing, I need to know this as I intend to remove myself from our lease next week and also disable her access to my bank accounts, I have no choice I just wanted the info so I could post it to her or something.
Could she get deported?
god what a mess.
PS. Please no derogatory comments on my ex partner or racism re:polish claiming benefits, I happen to love this woman and my experience of the Polish and Poland has only been a pleasure (apart from this relationship)
