No Recourse To Public Funds

[lastlid]

From the Isle of Man Guide to Child Benefit....

" Also, you may not be able to get Child Benefit if:

You are subject to immigration control."

"You are subject to immigration control if:

The Immigration Office says that your leave to remain is on the condition that you do not have recourse to public funds...."

However, I get the impression that I can claim the child benefit if my wife can't.

Yep, you can claim.
It's only your wife who cannot claim it.
