I can't answer the question about other benefits, but for her to claim carer's allowance, he must be in receipt of attendance allowance.
If he doesn't get AA it might be worth a call to Age Concern, as they can come out and help them fill in the forms.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
