Universal Credit where partner has no recourse
They have to claim as a couple. The partner with NRPF is required to go for a HRT, which they will fail and get a decision letter saying they are not entitled to UC. The maximum UC amount will not include any money for the partner with NRPF, but any income or capital they have will still be deducted from the award. Because of this, partner will be required to verify ID and agree to report any changes.
Side note, I found that verifying ID for a partner with NRPF was an absolute nightmare. DWP insisted on certified copies of ID documents held by the Home Office, which caused massive delays.
What I feared! Thank you for your help
