Help getting a Mortgage

Can anyone help my wife is a carer for adults with learning disabilities who live in our rented house and because of this we had to sell our smaller house but we have now found a house to buy, but can't get a mortgage as she is given an allowance not a wage even though it is through our local council and I work full time in the royal mint. We have got 2 or 3 marks on our file which are settled and due off in the summer. But it seems most lenders won't take my wife's money into consideration. HELP

Do you get staff discount on products at work? (sorry, I couldn't help myself)
Surely the carer's allowance would count as an income, in the same way that tax credits do.I can't add up.0
