You could try putting your details as they are now, and as they will be, in the calculator at ENTITLED TO .COM
As far as the DLA and Carer's is concerned these will not be affected as they relate to your husband. If you currently qualify for Income Support then it's almost certain (barring wins on the lottery) that this will continue along with the HB and CTB. For the child who is remaining in full time education Child benefit will continue. We can pay Child Benefit for young people aged 16, 17 and 18 who are continuing in full-time further education.
By full-time education we mean more than 12 hours supervised study a week, not counting breaks for meals and homework. See all the details at Inland Revenue Child Benefit website hereMy weight loss following Doktor Dahlqvist' Dietary Program
