Friends, Romans and Esteemed Colleagues:
H&W are going to file a Chapter 7 case.
H qualifies for the means test exclusion as a disabled veteran.
According to the instructions, W is required to file a Form 22A for
herself since she is not excluded.
Questions:  1.  Must W include H's disability (non-SSA) in her Form 22-A
                   2.  Can W still include H in the household size
number?
                   3.  If a presumption of abuse would arise as to
W, could that be avoided by simply filing the case for H only and
including the wife's income without losing H's exclusion?
This is a new one for me.  Anyone with expertise on these  facts?
Thanks,
Mark
