Greetings all,
I have been on spouse visa for 2 years due to be applying for ILR in October,i have already passed the life in the Uk .
My wife works part time and has been receiving tax credit,i work full time and i am worried the tax credit she gets would affect my application..
Our son is 1yr 8months and she gets child benefit for him.

Please help!

It's fine, don't worry. Remember the new English requirement from October 28-2013.

Thanks very much Guru that is very helpful because one of my friends was advising me not to fill in the form that she gets tax credit. my current permit expires 25th of October and i understand i can apply 28 days before so will be booking an appointment in Liverpool before the 25th.I consider myself lucky as would not need to sit another English test as the Life in the UK test was nerve racking especially when i sat down waiting for the result after.

It's not so much 28 days before the visa expires, but rather, you can apply from 28 days before your 2 year probationary period (since you entered uk) ends.
