As you have ILR you are entitled to benefits and this will not affect your route to naturalisation

As already said, now you have ILR, you can claim any benefits that your circumstances dictate you are entitled to.

What benefits have you in mind? Child Benefit? Tax Credits? Anything else?

Hi John,

Thank you for your reply. Other benefits like....Income support for my wife as she is not working, if enrolled my baby in baby care nursary.....the cost of this.....

If we go abroad (Holiday for 4 weeks) that this will have any impact?

Thanks,

Income support for my wife as she is not working

Are you working? If so no claim for Income Support is possible. However a claim for Tax Credits is possible, and the lower the family income the higher the amount of Tax Credits.

if enrolled my baby in baby care nursary

If your wife is not working, why is there the need for a baby care nursery?

Or are you wondering what if your wife starts working? In any case, the calculation of Working Tax Credit can take into account the cost of child care, but it will never cover the whole cost of that.

Hi John,

Thank you very much for your reply. Regarding Housing benefit, should I have to inform to my landlord that I am applying to claim Housing Benefit or no need. I am residing at rear extended rooms of the landlord property so not paying council tax for this rooms, landlords says it all come under same property and he pays the council tax.

Thanks,

There is no requirement to tell your landlord. Any HB will be paid direct to you, and you will just pay your landlord in the ordinary way.

However it is possible that the Council might contact the landlord to check something out, but if you have a proper tenancy agreement and supply that to the Council, they might not contact him.

I know that with my local council, they ask on the application form whether you consent to them contacting your landlord about your application.
