Claiming benefits may affect your citizenship application in the future if you choose to apply. Your wife is not entitled to it so she cannot claim any but her application will not be influenced by you claiming benefits

If your visa does not entitle you to claim benefits but you do then you both will not get ILR or naturalisation. Do not think it is a "could" but a sure "will not".

The OP is on ILR so he has access to public funds :!:
