Help With a Change of Circumstance

I've been looking at the benefit checkers but I can't get the information I need.
I currently live alone in a house that I own with no mortgage. I am in receipt of Council Tax Benefit, Incapacity Benefit (Long Term), the Income Support Severe Disability Top Up and DLA Care middle rate and DLA mobility lower rate.
My girlfriend has been having problems from the compliance department of the DWP and is going to tribunal since her Income Spport benefit was stopped. She was investigated for cohabiting with me but we hadn't got to that stage at the time!
She currently recieves no work benefits due to this but does recieve DLA care middle rate, DLA mobility lower rate and housing benefit. She has just claimed for ESA but this hasn't been awarded yet.
We are considering moving in together in my home and will need to claim benefits as a couple. She will be giving up her flat. How will this be worked out?
Incapacity Benefit is no longer a benefit given so will I have to claim ESA as a couple from now on? Will our DLA be affected?
I have looked using benefit checkers but as I'm on IB they don't seem to apply.
I would appreciate any help...
