I think more than 16 hrs is needed for a couple.
Couple with one or more children - Usually at least 24 hours between you (with one of you working at least 16 hours).

Are you getting the disability element of CTC ?

OP stated she is in receipt of carers allowance so 16hrs is the correct criteria.

Fair enough. There is no harm in looking at it.

But on the basis of the OP's statement that his "arm is becoming weaker and weaker" and that's the extent of the disability, I'd say it was a stretch.
