    Hey there @chevloo and welcome to the community. 😁

    Regarding your husband, when/if you claim Pension Credit, you should indicate that you have an underlying entitlement to Carer's Allowance. If you have questions about claiming or the impact of your underlying entitlement on your Pension Credit, it's best to contact the Pension Credit helpline on 0800 99 1234. 😊
