...married couple pension .? or do i have to be 65 as well before he gets the married couple pension
 
According the the booklet "Approaching Retirement" (Inland Revenue & Customs booklet IR 121), the rules are as follows:-

If you are married and either you or your husband or wife was born before 6 April 1935, you can claim Married Couples' Allowance.

Anyone born after that date can no longer claim this allowance.

Have a look at the website below.
 
Hi,the pension will be topped up by the DHSS.Depending on how old you are say your 50 then yes you will have to wait untill your 65.
 
A woman gets her pension at 60..the amount depends on what stamps she has paid,(39 yrs for a full pension).If she has'nt paid enough stamps she can claim a smaller pension off her husband's stamps.
