Yes you can cancel the appeal, it is probably best to put it in writing to the DWP that you are withdrawing the appeal.

Healy's right and you can do this. There is another way - your husband will shortly be sent a TAS1 from through the post with the appeal documents. This is sent out by the Disability and Carers Service and asks if you want to go ahead with the appeal. You can complete this with a 'no'. Alternatively if you don't return the form the appeal will be struck out anyway.
