I am applying for british citizenship for my wife .can i also apply for myself along with her?

Did your wife also apply for settled status or did she have PR?

she has settled status dated oct2017 and she also has ilr under the new eu settlement scheme

i mean she permanent residence document dated oct 17

My understanding is that as she has recently got ILR settled status, she has to wait 12 months on ILR as do you before applying for citizenship.

thanks for reply .We want to apply on basis of her permanent residence document which is dated oct 2017 and not on basis of her recent ILR

we received letter with her permanent residence doc that if she wants to apply for citizenship then the ict 2017 date will be considered for her application

1. Why did she apply for settled status if shr was planning to apply for citizenship?

2. You can't apply with her until either she is already British or you have waited 12 months.
