Universal credits for self employed

I need help. My husband is a self employed electrician and is now out of work. I know there will be an announcement today, thankfully but I do need help. I’m an NHS worker currently on maternity leave. We have our own house which we have managed to get a mortgage holiday for for 3 months. As he lives with me, when applying for universal credits it gave him a linking code for me. We have 3 kids and do not receive any benefits but do I need to apply as he lives with me??? Very confused.
also how do you change an address on the application.

First person who applies says they are part of a couple and are given a linking code.
Second person who applies says they are part of a couple and inputs the linking code.
This joins the two claims into one assessment.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
