Yes as it's not a public fund. Your husband can claim child benefit and tax credits.

my wife (on spouse visa) is pregnant with our second child, she hasn't worked at all, can we claim anything!!
currently receiving CB and CTC.

I assume you are working?

only 19hrs a week at the moment so no WTC

You may be entitled to housing benefit/council tax reduction depending on your income. However, you need to be careful that the local authority assess your joint application as a single person's applicable amount otherwise your partner may breach the no recourse to public funds attachment.

Hi to all,
I need an advice , I am british citizen and never claimed any benefit in my life, my wife is on spouse visa for 2 years and next year april 2014 she will be applying for her indefinite leave to remain, since she came to uk she was working , now she is pregnant and our baby is due on june 2013 , my question she have to leave her job as she cannot carry on, but she worked full time since she was here ,

My question is, her employer NHS is not paying her maternity pay as she did not work for them atleast 15 months, she only worked for them 6 months , so she decided to go statutory maternity pay which is called SMP 1

IS SHE ENTITLED TO GO FOR STATUTORY MATERNITY PAY WHILE SHE IS ON SPOUSE VISA - IS IT LEGAL OR IS OUR RIGHT-PLEASE INFORM ME , THANKS ALOT

She is fine claiming SMP. You can claim child benefit once the child is born and a couple claim for tax credits.
