One DSB allows two discounted fares and the system should know that.

Most journey planners do recognise correctly that a single Disabled Persons Railcard allows up to 2 passengers to travel. My dad has one of these railcards and I'm often helping him with purchasing tickets online for himself and my mum to travel, and all the journey planners I've used for this (GWR, LNER, Thameslink and NRE) have all worked correctly in this regard.

TfW seems to recognise this, but haven't tried Avanti yet.

It's worth noting that the second passenger doesn't need to be a "carer". I hold a disabled persons railcard and it's clear that the second user can be anyone.
All retailers should offer this.
If you are travelling on reserveable trains and want decent seats, you may want to use a retailer that offers a seat selector, but other than that it doesn't matter who you buy from.
