ODSP is for the individual. You can't claim a disability benefit as a pair.
If you are sponsoring your husband for spousal application, you need to verify that ODSP does not count as gov't benefits, otherwise you could be refused as a sponsor.

You need to notify ODSP that you are married. You will also have to update your sponsorship application to indicate that you are now on ODSP. ODSP isn't considered a government benefit but it can make it challenging to sponsor a spouse.
