Any one?

You cannot make a claim for Incapacity Benefit, rather it would be Employment and Support Allowance. You will not necessarily be refused, so far as, you can adequately maintain and accommodate yourselves.

Thanks amber for replying so you mean I can claim employment support allowance but not incapacity binifet and my wife ilr won't be refused? Thanks

You'll need to read what I wrote and read up about adequate maintenance.
