Spouse Visa And In Receipt Of ESA/DLA

[richard_se11]

There is an exemption as you're on DLA; however, you'd still need to show adequate funds to maintain and accommodate the two of you.

The Immigration Rules say:

3.6.1 Where the applicant’s partner is in receipt of any of the following benefits or allowances in the UK, the applicant will be able to meet the financial requirement at that application stage by providing evidence of “adequate maintenance” rather than meeting an income threshold: (DLA...)

3.6.4 The applicant will not need to meet the minimum income threshold. Instead, the applicant is required to demonstrate that they will be adequately maintained without recourse to public funds.

 

Although it is clear that there is an exemption to the income threshold, which I understand to be the original question, you will have to show that you will be adequately maintained without recourse to public funds.
