Thanks guys, will try an appeal against the DLA and get back in touch with the CAB.

To be honest I'm loathe to do this .. it was my wife who initiated the split - I would have stayed together for the sake of my kids. So I'm concerned if I do remove my name she'll refuse to pay out half the equity on the house when my youngest leaves full-time education.

Firstly, this is a bit of a convoluted post, I'll try and keep it brief. My wife has asked for a seperation / divorce. I am disabled and am unable to work, so for the last four years she has paid all the household bills, mortgage etc. The only course of action is for me to move out, as she would not be able to keep paying the bills on our home, and wherever she moved to. We have two children so keeping them in the marital home is also important to us. The problem I am faced with, is that although I get a small pension of about £200pm, and incapacity benefit, I am unable to rent anywhere nearby for less than about £450pm - this would leave me very little to pay other bills, food etc. I have been told that I'm not eligible for housing benefit as the mortgage on our house is in both our names, and is worth more than when we bought it. I have applied for Disability Living Allowance and again been told I'm not eligible. As I have quite severe mobility issues I need to be close to my children, as my wife works I have to get them ready for school etc, and I would continue doing this after I moved out, so I need to be nearby. So moving to another area that might be cheaper is also not an option. After making what seems like a thousand phone calls to different housing helplines, CAB ( who I hate to say where very unimpressive and gave me totally wrong information ), and Independent Living etc, I'm still no nearer to being able to find any sort of resolution to my problem. All I'm looking for is some advice really, maybe some idea of any group who may be able to help me, or advise me on a course of action. Kind regards, and thanks for reading.
