What am I going to do???

Your OH ex employers aren't going to say that he was forced out of work due to racism, they will make up something I would have thought. he needs really to put his side across to the JC before the ex employers.
Maybe your husband should go to the CAB or a welfare rights organisation & get everything down in writing about the events that led to him walking out. Did he keep a diary of sorts of what was happening?

Have a read of this, there may be some help on there about who he should speak to. I don't know how relevant it will be as he's now walked out.

As you are only working 10 hours you can claim Jobseekers in your own name. It stops when you are working 16 hours or more in a week. As far as the tenner it costs you to get to work as a couple you can keep the first £10 of earnings before it affects the JSA payment so you won't be any worse off in the end (unless your travel costs are much higher)

Only if you claim income based JSA as a couple. It is £5.00 if you claim contribution based

It's £20 for people with children.

not for couples, only lone parents, carers or people with a disability premium get £20 disregarded. (Oh and special occupations)
