Assuming that you are a British citizen, and you & your child are resident (together) in the UK, I don't see a problem?

What finances did you show to sponsor your wife in 2014? If is was by earning 18.6, then how could you claim Working Tax Credits in 2015? That benefit is based on the previous years income with a disregard and 18.6 is higher than the cap for the couple rate of WTC.
Child Tax Credit claim must be in both names. It is benefit fraud if you claim as a single perspn when you aren't.
Child Benfits claim must be in your name only.
