You could speak to a trained advisor, they can calculate your income from other benefit combinations, for example your husband could claim Income Support as a Carer, whether any of these are viable alternatives will depend on your personal circumstances and there are short and longer term issues that you would need to be aware of.
Unfortunately this is not something we can cover on the forum.
