From what I understand I have to show that i would not have to claim additional public funds

if my fiance/wife came to the UK.

and that I have to show I get more income than the minimum paid by income support,

which for a couple is currently £92.80, if i get more than that is the public funds criterior satisfied ?

I actually get the following help

Tax credits £115 pw

Child benefit £47 pw

Incapacity Benefit ( suffered neck injury in accident) £98 pw

becasue I get more than income support would pay, but unable to meet all

of my mortgage they pay me 10p p/w income support so that I get some help with the

mortgage (they pay about £55 pw to my mortage co)

my fiance/wife is a very hard worker and already has a job offer in the UK if she can get visa !

so income would rise when she gets here and I would actually get less public funds as

they would stop the help they give with the mortgage.

do you think that we would satisfy the public funds criterior ?

I think this is our main hurdle , and it is causing me great stress thinking about it

You're pretty much correct, and the details should be addressed in the covering letter.

I note that you receive tax credits. Do you work in addition to receiving Incapacity Benefit?

It doesn't matter, per se, but you are going to have to ensure that the covering letter is written to address these issues.
