Claiming child benefit if parent is British but child is on visa

Hi,

Please advise on this situation.

I have acquired British citizenship and passport but my child who is 5 years old is on FLRM visa.

I wanted to check if I can claim child benefit for my child and if I do so, will that affect my child in getting his ILR and citizenship later on.

Thanks very much
