Hi Cherrie and welcome.

Regarding your question first of all your husband would be exempt from meeting the financial requirements as he is in receipt of a qualifying benefit under the immigration rules.

What he would have to show is that he is able to maintain and accommodate you and that after all housing costs are paid there would be a minimum of £112.55 per week for you both to live on.

With regards to getting a house from the council yes he can do that so that shows you will have somewhere to live if your visa application is successful.

I hope this reassures you and I am sure others on here will confirm this.

Good Luck...
