What assessment period does the £168 relate to? If it is showing for an assessment period in which no CA was received then you need to post a note in your UC journal querying it (mark it as a payments query). If it is in an assessment period which covers some weeks before your wife's turned 66 it will be an apportioned amount for the CA (it's about two and a half weeks worth).
Your statements should still show that you are entitled to the carer element of UC (£163.73) but there should now be a deduction for the State Pension your wife presumably receives.0
