child benefit

[tomm]

You can claim Child Benefit if your child is living here in the UK regardless of whether they were born here or not. My step-daughter was born in Phils and has a visa that say "No Access to Public Funds" but we still claim Child Benefit for her and we also claim Working Tax Credits.

Ok, so it appears some in our situation can get working tax credit.

Now my question is this. Can this be taken into account in a settlement visa application?
