It appears that you are prevented from getting CA if you are in receipt of IB. Check this link: Carers UK : Rules
Also, you haven't told us if your dad is receiving disability benefits like DLA or AA.
It could be useful to call Community Legal Advice to ask for income maximization advice.

Yes, you are correct, you must be under 65 when you start your claim for DLA but if you claim before, then you can continue even if you cross that age limit.
Call CLS- they may check if your applicable amount is correct, whether your household is entitled to any extra benefits or premiums.
