It may be that there is an automatic retirement lump sum which cannot be reverse commuted.

In the 1995 scheme the lump sum was defined as a minimum of 3 x the annual pension (with an option to increase up to a maximum value).

The 2018 scheme gives members a choice about how to apportion lump sum and pension.

The 2008 scheme I think also gives members a choice but many people in it were switched to it from the 1995 scheme in which case they are required to take as a minimum a lump sum equivalent to what had been built up in the 1995 scheme before they switched.

As previously advised DLA will not have stopped as a result of UC claim, completely separate from UC. Similarly if your wife gets contribution based ESA that will not stop as a result of UC claim either - although it will obviously depend on outcome of her recent medical review that you mentioned.
