Working Tax Credits - separated couple.

My husband and I have been separated for 14 months and are unlikely to get back together, but we have not yet set in motion the divorce process (I am severely depressed, on anti-depressants and in therapy, and cannot handle the emotional trauma of that yet).
My husband's earnings are low, would he be considered single from the point of view of working tax credits? Or would my income as his wife, even though we no longer live together, still be taken into account?
