You can get child benefit, child tax credits and if you are working less hours such as part time or you are on low income you may qualify for working tax credits. But remember, you have to disclose household income not just yours if your wife is working as well. You need to call tax credits helpline, they will send you tax credits form, fill in all details and you will get a decision within in a month time.
You need to apply for child benefit separately. You don't have to send your passport to bro, just send a photocopy and children's birth certificates.
I don't think it's a good idea to apply for housing benefits as you may get it, but it may create problem for your wife's ILR. Thx
