Claiming CA does not affect your PIP.

You refer to LCWRA for your partner so I infer that you claim UC. If you are jointly claiming UC you don't need to claim CA. Simply report to UC that you are a carer. You will then get the carer element added to the UC.

If you claim CA it will simply be deducted from the UC.

Lots of people are carers while claiming PIP theirself. Providing your caring duties don't contradict the reasons you're claiming PIP. I claim PIP and also claim carers for looking after my daughter, my caring duties do not contradict the reasons why i claim PIP and it's never been an issue.

I do think you're over thinking this though.
