Entitled to any benefits?

Earlier in the year i wrote asking for help regarding pension information now the time has come that my partner will receive this.
Since April 2008 we have been in receipt of DLA, IS, IB and CTC along with HB and CTB. Unable to work due to disability which is showing no sign of getting any better. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children.
OH's pension is paying out on the grounds of ill health. The information supplied has been he will get 8 weeks full pay then receive a lump sum. The pension was paid into for 6 years and has amounted to around £8000. We do not know how much the lump sum will be as it was still being worked out at last meeting in November.
Based on this information will we lose all benefits or just some and also will we still be entitled to any discount with HB and CTB?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Do you have any other savings or income?0

No savings and no other income apart from child benefit.
We had a letter earlier on today from IS saying due to a change in circumstances we are not entitled to it as of 9/12/2008. The only change we have had is the news the pension will be paid out so can only guess it is this causing the change.:j Was married 2nd october 2009 to the most wonderful man possible:j
