Applying for a credit card on maternity leave

in Credit cards
Hi
I'm currently on maternity leave and not planning on returning to work until March. Can anyone advise whether I can apply for a credit card to do a balance transfer whilst on mat leave? I assume applications will query my monthly income. In hindsight I should have applied before I went on mat leave!
Many thanks
