Child benefit and effect on ILR application

[indiansummer]

Hi

I'm new to this forum and I have the following question.

I'm claiming child benefit for my son currently without realizing that it might have an effect on my ILR application. I'm now trying to apply for my ILR and don't know what to put under the section "Are you claiming benefits"? as I've read that it might have a negative impact on my ILR application and later on for British citizenship. Obviously, had I known this earlier, I would not have applied for child benefits at all in the first place. Now, I'm confused and worried. Any help on this is appreaciated. Thanks in advance.
