confused:benefits vs. indefinite leave to remain application

Hi,

I'm in the middle of trying to complete my set (M) form for the indefinite leave to remain. I'm still a bit confused regarding the benefits section and would appreciate any advice.

My husband is a British Citizen and we have a 2 year old daughter. The child benefit is claimed under his name as my spouse visa states that I have no recourse to public funds. However, he also claimed child tax credit but its under a joint name.

I've been here for 2 years and wasn't working the first year because of the baby. Then, the year after I went to university to do my Masters. Both my husband and I are self-funding ourselves through savings.

Would any of this affect my application?

Also what should I put in the application in regards to the public funds, when in actuality I'm not the one claiming it and it goes to my husband.

Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

That' fine just tick husband claiming Child Benefit and both for tax credits. The caseworker will understand that this is permissible and required by law.

Thanks Guru. I will only fill in the benefit detail for my partner's side and leave mine as blank then.

Also, we've just moved to live with his mother and there isn't a proof of address for the both of us here as its very recent. Would that be a problem? I have proof of other places we've resided.

Thanks
