Financial Help For Blind Person

Hi there,

first off i apoligize if i have put this in the wrong section.

i am in desperate need of help and advice.

i am newly registered blind and have been told i will have to wait at the very least 6 months to get a support worker to help me get all the benefits i deserve, as it stands i only receive the lower rate of DLA which is roughly £165 per month ,my wife earns roughly about £800 per month making that an annual pay of around £9600.

We have only been married a year, and i stopped geting income support because my wife works more than 24 hours a week. So as it stands i feel as if she is the only 1 bringing in any money.

I just wondered if there was some other kind of benefit i could get to boost my "income" because i am only getting my DLA this is around £41.00 a week to live off of.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
