However, UKBA do clearly state that "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.

So go ahead with the claim asap in the knowledge that it will have absolutely no impact on your immigration status and no impact on your ILR application.

Finally, your husband should also claim for and be receiving Child Benefit. Again there'll be no impact at all on your ILR application.

If you feel any insecurity at all (despite the above UKBA statement) then double check with an immigration advisor such as Victoria.

Thank you sir peter for the clarification and ill let my husband about it..
Anyway, about the housing benefit, the woman who did to fill up our form she doesnt put my name as a partner in there because she said im still not settled here,she just took a photocopy of our marriage certificate and the birth cert of our baby. About the calculation your all right the council people knows all if im still the immigration control she said they will write down there as a single parent only, we still waiting for the outcome from them..
