I thought it was only child benefit one cld claim b4 ILR

You've no need to worry - either of you. Believe me ... the Council is fully aware of your situation and would not have offered you the flat if it was likely to affect any future application for Permanent Residence [ILR]. And, since you're receiving Child Benefit and Family Tax Credit in your husband's name, it's not YOU who's claiming public funds. So ... forget what your friend says ... and relax!
