All agreed, in theory, but has anyone ever known Pension Credit apply notional income rules in such a case? It is PC, not IS, despite the heading.
In fact, just checked, they can't. Notional income for PC is closely defined in Reg.18. PC Regs and doesn't cover unclaimed CA.
So I would go ahead and withdraw the wife's CA claim, as well as making one for the husband, to restore the status quo ante.
