    Unfortunately, if you have a joint claim then you won't be due any backpay or future payments and it'll just be your commitments that will change (if any). Do you and your wife receive PIP? 

    Aside from this, a benefits calculation may be useful:

    Hi @jotapeseven, welcome to the community. Looks like you've already had some good advice, a benefits calculator like the one bg844 posted above is definitely something that might be worth a try to see what you might be entitled to. 

    I'll pop your post over into our benefits section where more of our members with the right experience can see it and offer their advice :)
