Anything that all UK citizens are encouraged to apply for, is also appropriate for EEA citizens and their family members who are resident in the UK.

Child Benefit is a perfect example.

I am not 100% sure about housing benefit, but I am pretty sure it is fine to apply for. Check around some more to make sure... http://www.housing-rights.info/02_5_Oth ... onals.html looks interesting.

Is your EEA family member working?
