Benefit entitlement help needed

Hi all,
just wanted to see if any of you know the answer to my question -
I'm disabled and have a baby who will turn one year old in 2 weeks. We receive child benefit, at £20 a week, and child tax credits, £63.10 a week. I get IB at the high/long term rate, I think it's £106 a week. I get DLA at lower care and lower mobility.
My husband is my full time carer but he can't get carers allowance as I don't get the middle rate care. We're on income support at £36 a week. We also get housing benefit and council tax benefit too.
As my son turns one year old in 2 weeks, will the benefits change at all? If so will income support go up?
Also do we have to declare DLA payments in tax credits renewals and income support applications?
Thanks

You will get less CTC roughly £10 per week, it should make no difference to your IS.
You do not have to declare DLA for TC and IS however you should as you may be entitled to extra premiums.0
