Dual Citizenship Disability Affected?

[Mishmim]

I am a US citizen married to a British Citizen now for 4 years and am coming up to 5 years of living here. I am thinking of going for a dual citizenship, but I also receive disability from the US.

I have searched both US and IND UK for any information to see if I choose to go dual citizenship IF my disability would be affected. The places I did find and try to call, well left me no better off than when I started.


Can anyone tell me if I would be affected or if there is a site to give me a better understanding.

I don't know an official answer, but I'm also a dual citizen, and judging by the process I sincerely doubt it would effect your disability. The best thing to do though is to contact the place that you get the disability from, say that you're thinking about going for dual citizenship, and would that affect it? If they say that it does, then don't go for it - but like I said originally, becoming a dual citizen after being here for so long is more like a formality rather than any real change in your status.
