UK Spouse/settlement visa.What benefits are we entitled too.

[fethiye2003]

Good morning,
I just got married to the most wonderfull Filippino woman.
We are expecting our first child and are applying for a UK spouse/settlement visa.
We expect to receive the visa shortly so my wife will have the child in the UK.
I receive P.I.P. (personal independence payment) as i have a disability so do not have to earn x amount and have x amount in savings to satisfy the financial requirements.
So, i believe my wife is unable to claim benefits but am i able to claim for the child.
What other benefits am i able to claim for.
I currently receive -
Housing benefit
council tax benefit
employment support allowance (support group)
P.I.P. (personal independence payment) care componant
thanks in advance for your time

Once child is born, YOU can claim Child Benefit in your name only and you can claim child tax credits which MUST be claimed in JOINT names with your wife.
