I have just noticed on my wife's ILR visa slip, that it does not state "No Recourse to Public Funds" as it does on her 2 year settlement visa slip. Does that mean that those with ILR are entitled to claim public funds should the need arise.

The mother could already apply for child benefits because that is given for every child in the UK regardless of their immigration status or that of the mother. It doesn't come under the normal definition of public fund benefits like working tax credit etc.
