What benefits can be claimed after ILR

[chaudhrei]

Hi there,
I know this question is asked many times but I could not find any thread by search that is why I am asking,
I recently got ILR which is backdated to sept 2008. I was on HSMP.I have three kids and wife who does not work(taking care of kids is enough hassle).
What benefit I can claim, any contacts to apply would be appreciated.
Thanks

Speak to your council and see what you can claim.

Child benefit is not a benefit, it is an entitlement of every child who meets the requirement. As you have acquired ILR, you will be entitled to child benefit for your children.

If your income is below certain level, you can qualify for family tax credit.

I must advise you to be cautious with claiming public funds, as it might have an effect on you ability to secure citizenship

Once you get ILR you are then entitled to public funds. As long as your claims are genuine and no deception, it will not affect your citizenship application. So please go ahead and claims everything you are entitled without fear!!
