ILR and benefits

[srs1972]

Hi,

I got my ILR on Monday and my family too. I am an Indian passport holder.
Could someone advice me on the following-

1) what state benefits are we eligible now?
2) can we claim child benefits?
3) my wife is not working but looking for a job. Is she allowed to apply for Jobseekers' allowance?

Does any of the above effects citizenship later on in a year?

1 - All the available benifits if you are eligible
2 - Yes
3 - Yes - Depends upon other conditions etc

Can u elaborate all the available benefits pls.
And if we claim benefit does it affect our citizenship application.

And if we claim benefit does it affect our citizenship application.

If you claim benefits you are entitled to as a settled person, it does't affect naturalisation application.

I have received my ILR, before while i was on spouse visa, i gave birth to my bundle of joy who was born with down syndrome. My husband who is british is claiming benefits as he is incapable of work due to disability. I need advice on the following:
1. My husband is the sole claimant of chid benefits etc, since that time i was on spouse visa with no recourse to public fund, but now that i have my ILR, what benefits can i claim?
2. I am solely taking care of our downs syndrome baby who requires constant care and supervision, hence I am unable to work as i have to care for him, even though i am fit for work but could not work as i have to care for my child who is now 3 months old.

Any advice is highly appreciated.
