If you have informed the LA as to your change of circumstances, your application should have been updated to reflect this.

Having no recourse to public funds is not related to council housing.

When you told them about your wife what was outcome? letter, conversation or are you still awaiting a response?
You need to contact them and discuss it if your unsure!
