(EEA Family Pemit application) Statutory Sick pay

[brokenpieces]

I need the expert’s opinion, we are planning to submit an application for EEA Family Permit on January and my husband is working in an agency. The problem is he got some fractures from yesterday and advised that he cannot work for a while.
The question is will it be a disadvantage if he will apply for a statutory sick pay or something like that, will this affect the application on January? My husband is flying to Philippines on December 30. Will this put us into a disadvantage situation if he will claim benefits?

He was beaten by those bullies from the same flat he's staying I want him to come over here sooner than the 30th of December but his ticket is for Dec 30 and I already inquired with the agency where we bought the ticket how much to change the schedule like make it early like Nov 30 and it seems that we have to pay a lot it is like almost buying a new ticket and we cannot afford it at the moment as we have other expenses..... I want him to be here soon because I am worried about his situation and because of what happen he cannot work and planning to claim benefits but we are worried as well if this will affect the application

In addition for example my husband cannot get SSP and file for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) then will this one affect the application. thanks?

I'm sorry to hear about the issues your husband has experienced.

On the positive side it will make no difference to the application for family permit.

EEA nationals only need to be exercising treaty rights.

No need for the EEA national to even already be in the UK, have an NI number, have money, have suitable accommodation, have been married for more than a day, or to have their spouse pass any English Language test.
Also there is no application fee for an EEA family permit.

Thank you i really hope so

If his agency will decline can we complain about it? What are the grounds to be qualified for the SSP?

I'm afraid that no-one can give you a definitive answer without knowing a lot more information about his employment contract and his own circumstances.

Please take a look at the information here:-
