Universal Credit query

Dear friends
I would like to ask a question
I would like to apply for working tax credit and child tax credit and child benefits etc
I’m told I need to do that under universal credit(What is that exactly)?
I’m a British citizen and my wife and 9 year old daughter just joined me under Spouse route.
If I apply would it effect their future application for extension and ILR?
Currently I ve gone on part time job due to poor health and can qualify for above benefits.
Do I need to apply my own or joint application?

Thanks for help
I still confused
Any other advice please?
What is universal Credit exactly and how it can effect my wife’s future application?

Any help please Gurus
Cassy,Vinny and Obie or anyone else
Please contribute and make my confusion clear.
Thanks

Waiting for some more advise
Please contribute
Thanks
