You may claim any public funds that you, as a settled person or British citizen, are entitled to. It will have no effect on your spouse's settlement application.

Child benefit should be in your name. Tax credits in joint names. Other benefits in joint names but only paying a single person/lone parent applicable amount. What Country is your partner native?
