Child benefit Joint Account

[Dianna]

Hi,
I have a temporary spouse visa with no recourse to public funds. My husband is British and is allowed to claim Child benefit for our British children. I've been on various forums but wanted to contact UK Visa and Immigration for definite assurance that even though my name is listed as a 'partner' on the application, his claiming it will have no effect on my visa conditions. They seem unable to confirm this and muddied the water further by saying the money can not be received in to my account. I've not read about that being an issue anywhere else.
We have a joint account - now I am at my wits end on what to do!
Does he need to open a personal account? What about the money already received into our joint account?
I am almost to the point where I just want him to cancel the benefit and repay the money but it seems unfair to lose 5 years of money for the kids that he may have been entitled to receive.
If anyone could please clarify this and perhaps direct me to somewhere the guidance is 'official'. Do moderators on here have some training on these issues professionally?
Many thanks in advance!
