Yes, you can claim your fiance if she lived with you for the entire year in 2016 and you provided more than half of her total support and you meet all of the other requirements. With respect to how her disability could affect your ability to claim her as a dependent, please refer to page 19 of Pub 501 under the heading, "gross income test", and page 20, under the headings, "support test to be a qualifying relative" and "total support". https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf. Please refer to the following FAQ to see if you meet the requirements to claim her as a dependent. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5187060.
