NHS Surcharge - Dependent Exempt
Hi All
Just wanted to see if anyone else had recently experienced the same as me and what the outcome was. On Sunday evening I went online and submitted all our (myself and two daughters (1 and 3 year olds)) settlement applications and as per process I went on to pay our NHS levy. When I got to the girls it came up and said nothing was due and that they are exempt due to the status of their application, i.e. main applicant applying as a dependent of a settled person under the age of 18.
This can't be right, can it?
We are going in in the next two weeks to do all our biometrics but have opted to have our applications done by means of super priority, will this be an issue with our applications?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Re: NHS Surcharge - Dependent Exempt
Isn't there a long standing glitch with paying for children's NHS charge, which gets sorted out during the application?

It’s because the system isn’t aware of you - if it was just the children and their father then they would be granted ILE and therefore be exempt from paying the IHS. You will be asked to pay for them at a later date.

Re: NHS Surcharge - Dependent Exempt
Hi All
I just thought I would update on here in case anyone reads this thread in the future. We were asked to pay. We submitted our application and received a request two working days later to pay the surcharge for each child within 7 days or the application would be cancelled.
It it is a long standing glitch and we just got a link to the original page with an amount now inserted to pay.
