My understanding a out the benefit situation is that you could apply for carer’s allowance, which should be awarded on basis of your husband getting DLA. It is confusing, but attendance allowance is the over 65 version of DLA or pip. However, if you are over 65 yourself, you won’t get any actual money but it can lead to other benefits. Please do contact your local Age UK, they are experts. Also, do get in touch with Social Services and ask for assessment for your husband and yourself as his carer. There is help out there, don’t get yourself ground down.
