How benefits are effected after marriage, (when one individual is working!)

Hello everybody! I would like some advice about how benefits are effected once you're married. My husband is receiving UC, Disability Living Allowance and Housing Benefit. He was also claiming PIP up until a few months ago before the council stopped it, (a decision that's currently being appealed!). I am working and earn about £28,000 a year. We're currently living with family while on the council list for housing. Unfortunately its taking longer than expected. I was thinking about private rental but was wondering how us living together would effect my husbands general benefits and his housing benefit in particular. As I am earning will the council expect me to pay the whole rent, or will they cover my husbands half and I partially pay? Would love some information from anyone who's been in a similar position. Thankyou! :)
