Only one of you can continue to be paid UC although you with both seem be UC claimants. The UC payment will be calculated on your joint situation. You will get less money as a couple than as two individuals (but will of course only have one set of fuel bills etc to pay).
The UC will include the standard couple allowance, only one of you can have LCWRA elemented, the other could claim the carer element for caring for the other (assuming they get Daily Living PIP and nobody else already claims anything for caring for them).
You can use a benefit calculator

The PIP claims are not affected..Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
