All true; I assumed from the phrasing that there was an AIP in force and that it was a pension being taken that ended the AIP rather than an age 65 decision.
For an AIP to exist the claimant's partner must, as you say, not be under 60.
The claimant must also be 65 or over.
That implies that for non same-sex couples, where the male is older, both would have reached the age for claiming a SRP before an AIP can be set.
For male same-sex couples, or where the female is older, then the age 65 rule would coincide with SRP claims.
There would then be a revision, an assessment based on the new income and any other CoCs and a fresh AIP. If that produced a SC only entitlement then the LA should have been sent, as you say, the new figures to use for HB / CTB.
I can't see there being anyway in which a recoverable OP could be caused under those circumstances.
Changes in SRP alone would normally be dealt with as deemed variations.
