Buying a second property

Options
Hi everyone, !I need a bit of advice if possible.!
I live with my father and my mum. My dad gets pip and pension credit. We live in a house which is fully been paid off. This is a house which we got through a council scheme, which we paid off after 5 yrs of living in it.!
I am in full time employment, and we are now looking to buy a second property and rent out our current house which we live in at the moment.!
Because my dad gets pip and pension credit we pay no council tax or very small percentage, I want to know if i was to buy another property and we all noved into this new property then would we in that case get help with council tax because of my dad?!
Also if let's say i was to include my dad's name on this new properties house deeds, would that affect his benefits, !and in that case would we get help with council tax?!
Basically, is my father allowed to be on house deeds of this new property, also is he allowed to be a joint mortgage applicant with me on this new property?!
