Hi skysisi,

What your husband claims in his own right will have no bearing on your claim for ILR he is entitled to them, as Terpe has said it is very rare for UKBA to refuse solely on financials.

As long as you have between you an amount equal to or above income support levels for a couple which I believe is about £115 per week after council tax and mortgage/rent is paid then all will be fine.

Good luck skysisi..
