You can claim child benefit as you have ILR. It is NOT children that claim but the parent.

dear cr001

as per ur advise, i have successfully applied for CB.

Can i also apply for child tax credit?

If you qualify, yes you can apply for child tax credits but this MUST be claimed in JOINT names with your spouse.
