He might have a chance of some work,but its not till next year,could anybody please help me as to what happens with my PIP payments etc etc,as the work he is after is abroad and pays £300 per week.
Im unsure about council tax and everything else.

Thanking you for your advice in advance.

    Income support would stop. You can then apply for council tax support. But your household income (PIP is ignored as income) may be too high.

    if you need him to care for you, why is he considering working abroad?
    who will be giving you care?
