Ciao
We are in our first 2 years stint of spouse settlement visa & need to clarify the 'no recourse to public funds' bit in my wife & step daughter's passports.
We are about to claim child tax credits for both my filipino step daughter & my british daughter jointly. As far as I understand this allowed under the 'no recourse to public funds' rules as is not considered as such. I will also be claming child benefits for my british daughter which we are entitled too. We will obviously not be claiming child benefit for my filipino daughter as it seems this benefit is actually a recourse to public funds.

Its the child tax credits I am concerned with really as obviously would not wish to break any rules.
Cheers in advance
