answer text

The minimum income threshold for sponsoring a partner under the family Immigration Rules aims to prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote integration. It is appropriate that the requirement to meet the income threshold should not be affected by the age of the sponsor. The income threshold rules make provision for the counting of a wide range of both employment and non-employment income, including pensions, and of cash savings. They also exempt the applicant from the income threshold requirement where the sponsor is in receipt of a specified disability-related benefit or carer's allowance.
