We both are from Bangladesh. We applied at the same time in January 2013. I got my ILR in June. Applied for child's Registration as a British Citizen last week. More than 6 months gone, still no result for the wife application. Thanks.
If you've passed the 6 month mark, you can ask your MP to chase the Home Office up on your behalf. This often gets a response.

Dear Amber, i hope you are doing well. I've just received my Housing Benefit and Council Tax Rebate letters today. I'm going to put the details below:

Net benefit payabele: £177.79
Weekly Gross rent/council tax: 178.85

In working out weekly benefit, we have used the following information:

Your partner's weekly earned income : £0.00
Any other income (weekly) : £20.30

No they've given you £71.70 for a lone parent and not £112.55 for a couple so that appears all fine.
