which benefit should i apply

[rfarooqui]

Hello,

I would like to ask one question please, i am british citizen (Not born in UK), my wife and my 9 month son recently granted a visa which is expiring on 2014 (stated no public funds), and living with me, before i apply any benefit or am i eligible to apply any benefit, i am worried if i apply any benefit will affect my family visa ILR application in future.

Ok i need to mention my son was born in Pakistan, i been living in UK since 2000. i have been naturalized on 2008. I have never applied any benefits before, because my salary is only £19000. I am financially struggling so i need to claim benifit as i have no other sourse of income.

Would like to know which benefit should apply.

Any reply would be very appriciate.

Thanks and waiting for your answer.

i have been naturalized on 2008.

Did you know that your son is automatically British by descent (2(1)(a))?

but i wasn't born UK, i was born in Pakistan, well i really don't know if my son is eligible for british passport.

Naturalisation = British citizenship otherwise than by descent (18.2.6.1).
Hence, 2(1)(a) is applicable to child.

You should be claiming child benefit for your son. This is currently £20.30 per week for one child.
