Both myself and my wife have had our ILR since Jan 2015 and my 2 yo son was naturalised couple of months after that. However we have not be claiming child benefit as have heard mixed stories that it can affect citizen application.
I am in real doubt and so seeking some help/advice
The only benefit I want to claim is child benefit and want to ask
Will it affect mine and my wife's citizen application if none of us earn more than GBP 50,000 a year?
Will I have to declare in form AN whether we are claiming these benefits?
The form asks for both parents names, About you and partner, my understanding is that the benefit claimed will be under the name of the first person and partners information is for completeness.
Is there any harm in claiming benefit under my wife's name even though she is not working right now?
I feel I have already lost out on some hundred pounds so dont want to delay in claiming if I can...

Your urgent help will be greatly appreciated
Also, if there is anything I need to be aware of, please guide me towards it
Cheers
