As your husband is claiming daily living PIP there should be no non dependent deductions from your housing benefit. If they are deducting money for non dependent deductions you need to contact your local Authority and tell them about your husbands PIP award. See link.

For council Tax reduction, all local Authorities have their own rules so I can't advise with that.
