You are already qualify for pr after working for 5yrs and it was after that you became permanently incapacitated. In both way you are qualify for permanent resident. Your spouse is qualified too, carer allowance is considered as working. All you need to add is the proof you have worked for 5yrs and you are a worker when you became permanently incapacitated. In either way both of you are qualified for pr through eea3. You are already qualified but only asking ho for a confirmation.
