The Entry Clearance Officer Accra appeals to this Tribunal against the determination of Judge Troup in the First-tier Tribunal allowing the appeal of the respondent, who we shall call �the claimant� against a decision on 26 November 2012 refusing her entry clearance with a view to settlement in the United Kingdom.
The First-tier Tribunal Judge made calculations based on his perception of the evidence and of the relevant benefits levels which would be available to a similar family (including the claimant) wholly reliant on benefits. Unfortunately, however, he made at least three errors. He took the sponsor�s salary from the wrong year; he took it gross instead of nett; and he failed to account for the additional entitlement to child benefit which would arise if a further child lived with the sponsor.
For those reasons it is clear that the First-tier Tribunal Judge erred in law. We set his determination aside.
Having set the First-tier Tribunal Judge�s aside, therefore, we substitute our decision allowing the claimant�s appeal.
