If the full amount of the pension is counted in your father's assessment then your mother must be seen as not having the £40 she currently receives - maybe she would be entitled to claim PC for herself (depending on her other income).

For pension credit she would. It would be treated as spousal maintenance. Most LA would say not to do it. Problem is if the mum has already applied and declared it, and states she has stopped it, the they could still treat her has still having it. I meant to look up the guidance on it at work but will have a look later
