In another topic you mention a wife, so why are you asking about a single parent?

Until ILR you have no ability to claim any benefits within the definition of Public Funds.

As she has ILR she can claim any benefits that her circumstances dictate she is entitled to.

hi thanks John

This is an immigration-related board, but you are asking benefit-related questions. OK, the two matters do sometimes intermingle but you already know she can claim any benefit to which her circumstances dictate she is entitled to.

Suspect the answer to your question depends upon the age of the child.
