Naturalisation doesn't have financial requirements - benefits you are entitled to will not be an issue.
Can't really comment on Settled Status but it is residency based primarily so again benefits you are entitled to shouldn't be an issue.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

To claim Child Benefit or Universal Credit you’ll need to have one of the following:

settled status
pre-settled status and a right to reside in the UK
had a right to reside on 31 December 2020 and applied to the EU Settlement Scheme by 30 June 2021

Check if you have the right to reside for benefits
