ESA will stop.
State Pension will start.
Tax Credits will continue (presumably Child tax Credits only). The amount you receive next year may change because your husband will (presumably) be receiving more money as SP than he does on c-ESA.
To use the entitledto website you would put in your existing details and see if the benefit amounts it produces match what you currently get.
You would then need to adjust your partner's birth date to pretend that he is already 66. That would allow you to enter State Pension information and remove the ESA to produce a new set of results.0 -

As I understand it the mixed age couple rules do not affect you because you are not claiming income based DWP benefits or Housing Benefit. As per my previous reply my understanding is that changes to benefits for mixed age couple do not affect Tax Credits.
As part of the process of phasing out Tax Credits you will at some point in the next few years you will be told that your Tac credits will end and you will be invited to apply for UC. However given the age of your child it is possible your tax Credits will have ended anyway before this happens.0 -
