Me and my wife are on ILR and my daughter got British passport.
If we get the child benefits then will this effect on our applications for British Citizenship?
Thanks

No it doesnt affect your citizenship because your ILR wont have said 'NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS'. Therefore, you are entitled to claim Child Benefit and Tax credit/working tax credit if u qualify.

it would not...you are entitle to public funds immediately you are granted your settlement/ILR from that moment.
The different between your and full british is the RED passport otherwise your are the same and have equal right to every thing
