If not, there's your 'loophole' even though I was speaking in broader terms and not on this specific instance.

Having read the guidelines, I can say that there is no restriction that says a spouse cannot be eligible for PIP if they have a removal order against them.

It is a case by case thing and not everyone is entitled to it. The argument in this case is that it seems like a pointless reason to refuse to grant it when the whole point is to excuse the illegal immigration in the first place as a means of protecting military families. The DHS did end up agreeing to drop the removal order after this got out to the press.
