dream208 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi all, The situation is that I had my PR since November 2013, now my brother is applying for his PR and he'll add our mother as dependent on him, she is 63 years old and we all lived in the same house. The thing is he need to provide "Evidence of dependency" documents and we have no idea what are the documents that we should provide. If anyone has any idea what are the documents that could be used to prove her dependency on my brother please help. Best Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That'll be hard to prove. At 63 she is of working age so what is stopping her going out and getting a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, You would have to prove she has no assets or income, that she cannot work, that you live in a country without a welfare state. Are all those things true first of all?

dream208 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 She is a housewife so she haven't worked before, she doesn't have assets (the house we live in is rented) and her income is so small as its her late fathers pension so she's dependent on me and my brother.

dream208 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Also another point is that the retirement age in my country is 60 for men and 55 for women, so even if she worked before she would've been retired by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream208 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Also another point i would like to ask about, my brother didn't add her on his EOI, will that be a problem if he added her to the application although this doesn't change his points?

If he adds her to his application and she fails then he fails too. Better talk to an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dream208 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 No her only income is the pension of her late father which is very small and isn't sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that fact that they'll be in the same boat if she fails the medicals he'll fail too but the point i was asking about is that she wasn't added while filling the EOI and now he'll add her to the application after being invited, so will that be a problem or affect the application ?

Rupert Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 No her only income is the pension of her late father which is very small and isn't sufficient. You already said that. Again, is there a welfare state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream208 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 The problem is that in my country most transaction are done in cash so there is no paper evidence of whom pays what in particular, thats why i don't know what could be presented as evidence, will a statutory declaration be sufficient in this case?

Rossmoyne Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well Dream, you have received exactly the same replies as you have on the British Expats site - were you expecting different answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Also another point is that the retirement age in my country is 60 for men and 55 for women, so even if she worked before she would've been retired by now. This would imply CIS or Vietnam - where there are welfare arrangements even if they are not generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
