Hi,

If your wife is the one declaring BR then you need to include the disability and mobility allowance in her income.

If you need the car the get to and from work then there shouldn't be any reason that the OR will take it from you.

If your wife contributes to the household bills, food, etc. then you can put this amount down as part of your income:

Your Income - xxxx
Wife's contribution - xxxx

If your wife doesn't contribute then you don't need to put anything down. During the OR's interview you will be asked if your wife contributes. If she doesn't or if she only contributes a small percentage of the outgoings then just tell the OR that she doesn't get much money, has her own bills to pay, etc. The OR has control over your finances but not your wife's.
