    I'm sure I saw a thread on here somewhere (can't find it now) which came at the problem from the other direction - the wife claimed Income Support (had a young baby) and the husband was classed as a "dependant" on HER claim. But please check as I may have remembered it entirely wrongly ...

    IS could only be claimed if one of the parties was unfit for work.
