Hi Tim,
Your wife could claim disability working tax credits for you because of your Enhanced daily living award. If she claims tax credits has she told them about your award? If you rent your home you maybe entitled to some housing benefit, but this would depend on your wife Income. Other than that, that's it i'm afraid. You won't be entitled to Income Related benefits because your wife works 32 hours. Hope this helps.

Thanks Denise.
We've applied for the severe disability element of tax credits. Forms have been sent that requires a doctors signature. I don't think i'm entitled to the disability element of working tax credits because that's dependent on me working. My wife will get £6 a week extra from tax credits starting April 2018.

You're welcome. Yes the severe disability element is what i meant. No you won't be entitled to the other as you need to be working for that one.
