queenie, you may also have made a genuine mistake. A lot of folks have done the same with no adverse impacts to ILR visa that I'm aware of.

Please have your husband be the Main Claimant for both Child Benefit and Tax credits.
If you've been the named claimant and have received monies you'd be best advised to contact HMRC to seek advice on your honest mistake.

A person subject to immigration control is not considered as accessing public funds if it is their partner/spouse who is receiving the funds that they are
entitled to.
Child and working tax credits are claimed jointly by couples.
If only one member of a couple is subject to immigration control then for tax credits purposes neither are treated as being subject to immigration control.

Don't worry too much, you're not the first and you'll not be the last.
It's a very confusing topic.
