You could try putting your details into one of the very good benefit calculators at EntitledTo.co.uk and Turn2Us.org.uk

When you say “she is stopping her claim for them” what are you referring to. If she is stopping Child Benefit then you should be able to claim that.

Without more information about the circumstances of you and your husband it is impossible to advise what you might be entitled to because everything else is means tested. Are you working age or pension age, do you already claim any benefits etc. If you are working age the main benefit for new claimants is Universal Credit.

As tacpot saysa benefit calculator may help

Are social services involved?  Are you kinship carers?
