What would happen?

Thanks again.

I know the hospital has a social worker: I wonder if he could take things through with me?

Certainly worth asking.

If you could find a bungalow perhaps in a sheltered housing scheme that had suitable facilities - would you husband be able to cope with caring for you full time at home in those circumstances do you think. Maybe speak to local council about that first because if there is somewhere you could go like that then wet rooms are often easily installed if not already there. If that could be sorted then you could claim ESA income related and you should get the Support group as you have what I would call an end prognosis that would be covered under special circumstances of schedule 3. If you get HRC DLA and Mobility then you would get ESA couples rate with underlying Carers entitlement and Severe disability premium on top so it would be well worth doing, but it would take some sorting out. But at the end of the day - you and he could spend that time together. Rent would be paid and Council tax too possibly even 100% depending on your local council support scheme.

The op does not live alone so no severe disability premium
