    If your PIP includes the daily living part there will be no non dependent deductions for housing benefit. 
    Council tax is totally different. Whether you’re entitled to any council tax reduction will totally depend on your circumstances.

    Non dependent deductions apply to council tax too. Therefore if you’re receiving daily living PIP you’re exempt from those deductions https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/non-dependants

    Unfortunately that it isn't necessarily true - for working age claimants it depends on the rules set by the local authority
