public funds and spouse visa, confuse here !

[gogo]

hi ppl
Its me again , just got quick question .
Can i still be a sponsor while i am claiming benifits like working tax credit and child tax credit and working only 30 hours a week.
Basically i am thinking eco might reject his visa on basis that i am claiming benifits or shall i stop taking the benifits at all before visa applying.
Any suggestion or answer will be apprecialted
thanks.
