Question

Can I claim my wife as an exemption because she is disabled but does not yet receive disability?

By filing as Married Filing Jointly, you benefit from an additional personal exemption and higher standard deduction that would otherwise go to waste.  Don't enter her a second time as a dependent.

Hope this helps.
