My wife works for the NHS and earns £27k per year, i am curently unemployed with a diability, which I get PIP for. My mother and father in law say I should get more help due to my disabilty, but I am unsure of this, can anyone help.

Puts tin hat on.

You have a household income of £72000 pa , get benefits but there are people who think you should have more?

Yea gods I'm so glad to be out of Britain!

You wouldn't get any income based benefits due to your partners income. If you haven't been making any NI contributions then I can't think of any contributions based benefits you would be due.

Pip is the benefit that doesn't matter what income or contributions you have but you already get that.

There are benefits calculators you can use to double check though eg http://www.entitledto.co.uk

Are you getting your national insurance stamp credited? If not you won't be building your state pension.

Is there any work you could do? Office work?

I have applied for office work in the past and had a job at a charity company, but only took people on for six months
