Claiming the wifes personal allowance

WELL I LOOKED ON THE SITE AND THIS YEAR WIFE GETS IN HER OAP AND ANNUITY PENSION LESS THAN THE 11500 FOR THIS YEAR. I LOOKED ON THE GOV WEB SITE DID THE CALCULATION HEY WE CAN GET 92 POUND PER YEAR BETTER OFF TRANSFERING HER ALLOWANCE TO ME.
But when i phone up the tax people you have to have the wife after her allowances of 11500 under a threshold left which is 10350.00 pound or you cant claim it.
So is the calculator wrong on the web site because when you put the wifes fig in and mine it says 92 pound can transfer so if your wife earns more in her pensions of 10350.00 you cant get it
Can anyone on money saving expert explain this why she has to have less than 10% of the 11500 allowance to get it.
