Urgent help plsReceiving child benefit while on spouse visa

[tinylove]

Urgent help pls. My husband is British and I'm holding 2 ya spouse visa and non-EEA passport. I worked in the UK for about 3 yrs before I got the spouse visa. I made a premium appointment for ILR application on 5the March and I just realised I made a stupid mistake by applying child benefit under my name instead of my husband's one and half years old when my boy was born. Will I get rejected because of me claiming the child benefit though I put down my husband's details on the CB claim form too. If so, can I do anything next week to rectify this just before I apply in person the Monday after next? Getting really worried...any help would be really appreciated

What mistake? Given you are married to a British Citizen, that claim by you is no problem at all. Para 6B of the Immigration Rules is in play, and that means that for technical reasons that claim by you is not Public Funds.

For details of the technical reasons, read the pinned topics in this Claiming Benefits section.
