We are already getting help with our council flat rent as we recieve guaranteed pension credits, in my husbands name, and allowed for me in the amount we recieve. I have just been awarded pip, personal independence payments. Will our housing benefit alter

    No it won't alter as you would already be receiving the maximum HB as you get PCGC - PIP is disregarded in full as income.
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.
