No one can predict the outcome of application. Have you updated to benefits authorities about your change of circumstances?
Yes, I have. My benefits aren't affected as I don't have savings anywhere close to £6k.

Again, just how I interpret the guidance and I could be wrong. I assume HO would be concerned about a situation where your parents changed their mind or were unable to continue to provide free accommodation and they would have to ensure you could still pay housing costs with available income.
You can claim child benefit but only in your own name which will not affect her future visa extensions.

1) If my wife gets a spouse visa do I have to let the benefits people know that I now have a partner (who doesn't work and doesn't have any income) and will that affect her visa?
2) Can I claim Child tax credits (via Universal Credits) in JOINT NAMES, will that affect my wife's visa?

For the adequate maintenance route, your income is compared to what an equivalent British family would receive. An equivalent British family with children would have increased income by having the children so the financial requirement you would have to meet is higher, but your income from benefits is also higher. See the guidance document for calculation examples that includes child benefits.

Also, is it latest months statement or 6 months banks statements for savings in bank?
