As indicted in the guidance this refers to the applicant and not the sponsor. Have you sought advice on this application from a competent immigration solicitor/advisor

You can claim child benefit, it will have no effect on your mothers application.

Thank you Greenie as always.

May i also ask this that how one finds out that what benefits sponsor can apply while not breaching the sponsorship undertaking. I hope this would help other people too.

Cheers.
