Hi @pastorpeter,
What you are looking for here is immigration advice not benefits advice I think.
My vague understanding of the subject (and what I think you're asking) is that where sponsors are in receipt of disability benefits (such as yourself) the earnings threshold for immigration applications is waived, and you only need to show that you are receiving enough benefit to meet the 'applicable amount' for both yourself and your wife. If what you want to know is "what is that" the answer is:-
114.85 basic couples rate + rent + council tax (depending on what you are liable for). So if you receive full Housing Ben and Council Tax Ben, then PROBABLY you are within the exception.
HOWEVER, let me offer a very severe disclaimer here, that what I think you require is immigration advice, from an immigration adviser, and I would strongly urge you to seek that, as aside from avoiding the earnings threshold, there are A LOT of other costs involved in immigration applications.
Best of luck with it though - I wish you every success!
Kind regards,
Mary
