L and I have suggested to him multiple times that we get a divorce so I can bring in some money, too. And EVERYONE has told my dad to claim me a a caretaker so I can get some income that way as well. H is too scared of losing me if we get a divorce, and dad is too proud to admit he needs and has a lot of help. I have even told my dad I'd split the income from being his caretaker.

Do YOU want to get a divorce?
You can still apply even if H is not on board. Do you feel like you growing together as a couple? Are you happy in your marriage with him? If you imagined yourself 5 years in the future with him, what feelings does that bring up?
My own parents have been married for 30+ years. They argue, fight and make each other miserable, but will not separate. I just imagine how hard it is to live like that.
I would really suggest you do apply for disability even if it takes long.
