Hi, My wife has unfortunately got Motor Neuron Disease and is therefore unable to work anymore. I still work full time, to try and support us both and I also care for her. Is there anything I can claim to help with income into our household. We do not claim anything at all at the moment but times are getting harder. Can I claim her tax free allowance for example? Any help would be great. Thanks. MP
