I'm on long-term disability allowance which will be replaced by a state pension next year. Will I lose my household benefits package? My wife is also in receipt of DA. Could she claim it if I lose it? Any advice appreciated.

No you won't lose it as long as you're wife remains in receipt of DA. You should have fuel allowance too. Have either of you applied for Carers for the other?

Thanks for the advice, as always. We're claiming fuel allowance, and thankfully still more than able to look after each other!
