Is your husband the visa holder, or the British partner?

Sometimes the visa holder can benefit indirectly, if the British partner applies for child benefit or tax credit, but they can't apply for individual public funds such as jobseekers allowance.

No, not unless the ECO, the decision maker, thinks your case could come under Article 8 and there are exceptional circumstances and hardship involved in your situation.

If that was the case you would then be asked to produce additional evidence of financial resources.

I don't know what future changes you are talking about but right now

If one partner hold ILR or British nationality while second partner is subject to immigration control then couple can claim certain benefit

Child benefit will be at the name of settled person while child tax credit should be applied jointly after declaring combine income
