well I think unless your partner has ILR your not allowed to claim 'more of a benefit',
well if your a single parent in the UK and the kids are with you, you've only one income, depends on your wage of course, but could claim child benefit, tax creds and childcare element, also your wife could be working in the phils, this will not effect what you can claim in the UK,
