Re: An Old Guy Going Home - Advice Please
Just a thought but I think your wife might find a job easily with any of the UK's many charities. You need to do a search but if you type in UK charities, job opportunities, you'd probably get some idea of what they're looking for.
What your wife earns will mean you get less in any benefits but at least it's a start.

Found you a couple of links to get you started.

Regarding bringing your wife to the UK...I think you have to prove you have somewhere to live and have a certain amount of savings/income...so she will not be a burden to UK taxpayers.
Try the search function located in the pink bar at the top of the page to search for past threads about spouses moving to the UK.

Well if she's got good teeth she's sorted
I really carn't answer on the immigration and bringing spouses over ..sorry Its not something that i have ever had to look into...but their are lots on here that have.
Maybe if you start a new thread and head line it with that question, you will get the right people to answer it for you
But people do it ..all the time so dont lose heart....
So why wont you need a stick

I will search as many threads as possible - I'm sure there's lots of ideas/suggestions out there judging by just this one thread.
I think what you say is good advice...'don't lose heart'...it's nice to receive encouragement - thanks.
I didn't say I won't need a stick, I said maybe I won't have to buy that stick (inferring that by the time I get this all sorted I'll probably already have one)

Lols Yep they listen in We in another forum use to test them to see how far they would go......child like i know...but when your bored
Your wife sounds wonderful by the way and i'm sure she will fit in very well.....
And you will get Income support and help with council tax etc If you end up in rented you will also get help with rent, whether it be council or private.
Is your wife younger then you ??? If she is working ...not sure how that would affect your benefits......You may lose them, that ones a tricky one as your wife wouldn't be a UK citizen,, so she wouldn't...I'm guessing be expected to support you ???
But if she's working ...you maybe wouldn't need to claim Income support.
Of course you could buy a stick and do the bad back thing and get incapacity benefits
