ESA Contribution based

Eligibility for EA(IR) is dependant on your household income, your savings and assets, and any hours that your partner works. See

Asset rule for ESA(IR)

24 hour work rule for ESA(IR)

You can put your details into one of the benefit calculators to see whether any money would actually be payable, yours wife's income will be deducted £ for £ from the calculated amount of ESA(IR), if there is any remaining then you will be paid ESA(IR).

I have to warn you that I think it unlikely that there will be but it is still worth checking. See
