Yes you can apply for housing benefit and it will have no effect on your application for ILR

Correction-you should not apply for housing benefit because you still have no recourse to public funds and to claim would be a breach of your conditions. Your wife can claim but must do so as a single person and declare and income or savings you have.

Thanks for your reply.

Is my wife eligible to apply housing benefit as a single person as we living together and has one child?

if my wife applied JSA and housing benefit, will it not effect on my ILR?

She would apply as a single person because you are not entitled. But when declaring income in the application, she would need to declare your income and any savings you both have.

i saw Housing benefit forms, there they asked couple details and declaration signs. is there any need to mention on the form that my wife is applying as a single person because on the form they didn't ask?

hope u can understand my confusion :-s

you need to make sure you declare on the form that you have no recourse to public funds. In practice it probably won't make any difference as to how much money she receives.
