Maternity allowance is not a public fund so it's fine. See http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... blicfunds/ for a list of public funds. If you are not subject to immigration I.e. bc then you claim the chid benefit and tax credits.

Hi,

My wife is on Tier1General visa with ILR due in 2015. Can she claim maternity benefit without any impact on ILR application?

She may be entitled to statutory maternity pay if not then maybe maternity allowance neither of which are public funds. What is your immigration status?

No just neither of you can claim public funds. So no child benefit and tax credits until one of you are settled.

Hi,
As my wife on two years spouse visa, she is claiming maternity allowance at the moment. My question can we add maternity allowance and child tax credit and child benefit to SET M form to meet the adequate maintenance requirement.
Also I have been made redundant last month, but now I am working for employment agency receiving £800 to £1000 a month, can I add that income £800 - £1000 per month add to SET M financial section.

Yes, you can put them all down, the child benefit should be in your name and the tax credits in joint names.
