claim for council tax benefit but this will be based on full household income.

Was he earning too much to get working tax credits? Assuming he is doing some work or can say he is and now get under £16000pa working tax credits are what you need.
You may have earned too much before but you can notify them of a change in income as long as he still has work. You have to be able to give a figure of present income.
