Disabled people better off seperated

You might be able to get the council tax dropped a band due to disability, I'm not sure of all the rules though, especially with the changes coming in, if you post on the benefit board they'll be able to help you.

Sell both and buying cheaper properties? The benefits system is a real joke, my b/f became unemployed through no fault of his own, and could not get any benefits because they had estimated there was capital in the house we both owned! Yeah there was but we lived in it so I guess what they were saying was, sell your home and then we might consider you for any benefits. I had to do loads of research myself to find out the rules, even if you live in an owned property and the capital is summarised as being over 16 grand, you are entitled to nil benefits, no matter how much tax and ni you have paid in, mad eh.

Sorry but you are talking rubbish, the value of your home is disregarded for benefit purposes.
