Hello all, I am retiring at the end of the month and my wife does is only 63yrs old so she does not retire yet , she does not work as she looks after her mother as her carer, I do have 2 small pensions do you think I would be entitled to any help for my wife as my ESA will stop and I will be worse off financially. Any help much appreciated.

I would put your information into one of the online benefit calculators to see what you might be eligible for, the obvious one will be Pension Credit providing your State and private pensions do not prevent payment.
