Hi @goldengirl1962 and welcome to the community! PIP would not be affect by living with someone who works full time, however ESA would be.You can’t get income-related ESA if you have a partner who’s working 24 hours a week or more(https://www.themix.org.uk/money/benefits/employment-and-support-allowance-esa-9360.html)
If there is anything else that I can help with then please do let me know1 -
Being able to claim housing benefit will depend on your household income when he moves back in. Same with Council tax reduction but you'll lose the single person discount for sure. Your PIP won't be affected as it's not means tested. Pop both of your details into a benefits calculator to see what it comes up with.
