It doesn't fall under a change of circumstances as and you both have ILR are no longer under Immigration control. This means you are entitled to claim benefits which under normal circumstances you qualify for. You don't need to notify the Home Office.
This tax credit calculator may also help you. I assume you're claiming child benefit?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
