"If your income is less than £10,600 in 2015/16 tax year you may be able to reduce your husband, wife, civil partner's tax by up to £212."
"You maybe able to claim Marriage Allowance if all the following apply:
1. My wife has an annual income (State Pension) of much much less than £10,600
2. I have an annual income (State and other Pensions) of between £10,601 and £42,385.
3. we were both born on or after 6 April 1935.

My question is: Is it worth while registering now to get an email telling me when she or I can claim Marriage Allowance allowing my wife to transfer some of her Personal Allowance to me?

That is the allowance.The amount of tax he will pay will be reduced by £212 or thereabouts a year. Sorry just read your post his allowance should be £10,600 p.a.If you are gaining more you are the lucky one.
