Please do NOT start multiple posts. Stick to this thread ONLY

Any CCJ must be declared.
On the issue of benefits, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance is part of the public funds. If you had no resource to public funds as a condition of your visa, then you should have NOT claimed such benefit, as that was against the condition of your visa.

For ILR, people under 5-year family route must apply using form SET(M)

Form SET(M) → https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/set-m

Thanks zimba for your help .
On the job seekers allowance issue, my first 2.5 years leave to remain visa was not having '' no recourse to public fund '' written at the back of the card but my last 2 (2.5) years visa had , I have not bridged any visa conditions here just to let you know , because the home office wrote the job centre a letter to say I was eligible to claim that was why I claimed the job seekers allowance for those 8 months.
Anyway thanks .

You should declare this as part of the application then
