would be eligable for hb and ct help?

We have just received a call from the hospital saying they will do my OH's op on Monday. This is for an operation on his left wrist to release the tendons after a work accident.

He will only receive statutary sick as the accident is from a previous employment, we also get £63 a week WTC and CTC, £20.30 CB, £62 Industrial Injuries, and I receive £198 a fortnight Incapacity benefit.

Our rent is £207 a fortnight, CT is £101 a month.

Thank you
