Confused about what to claim

Hi, I have been trying to work out what we should be claiming for. My wife is 54 and claims income related ESA she is in the support group and currently gets 364.50 every two weeks. We also get housing benefit and council tax beneft. I am unemployed and not receiving any benefits in my own right, I believe my wife's claim is classed as a joint claim. Are the above benefits correct and is there anything else we should be claiming for? Any help or info would be welcome.

Hi @pablo123, and welcome!
The best thing to do would be to put your details into our online benefits calculator: this is a good place to start and see what you may be entitled to. -
The above may also be useful for you too, @kainaat!
