Hi,Claiming housing benefit or Universal credit which ever is in your area will depend on your wife's income. I'd advise a visit to your local CAB to see what, if anything you maybe entitled to, or pop your details into a benefits calculator.First you need to check what's in your area. If it's a full Universal credit area and you don't have anymore than 2 children then you won't be able to claim housing benefit it will have to be UC for the housing element.
