    HI,

    Universal credit maybe possible but that will depend on your household income, savings/capital. As Universal credit it a means tested benefit then you would need to claim as a couple.

    I'd advise you both the visit your local CAB for a full benefits check.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Good afternoon @Kez70 and welcome to the community!

    As Poppy mentioned, it really depends on the individual household circumstances as well as household income and savings etc. 

    Have you taken a look at any calculators online?
