husband is the claimant and my name is not on any claims
thats right he is the cliamant but if am correct that is a join claim..if he is goin to claim working tax credit/child benefit so literally your name will appear on the application but make sure let the husband inform the local authority about your visa status when applying the said benefit..although its a join claim it is noted that your immigration status is not illigible as of yet to claim any benefit..
