Housing Benefit is one of the low income benefits that has been replaced by a benefit called Universal Credit. Unlike the old (legacy) Housing Benefit, Universal Credit has some strict rules for self employed who don't take much from their business, or those who don't earn much and then ask for low income benefits. A SE claim will be based on what you should be earning, even if you don't earn that much. You can read more about SE and asking for Universal Credit here-

It's reading like your husband cannot go on your UC claim. Try filling in this and see what it tells you to do with somebody in the family on LLR.

You should be reading about all the requirements of UC, e.g. it has a 16k cut off to claim UC; it's a monthly claim, which could vary any UC benefit amount each month. And generally how it works with two parents who can claim and their MIF (Minimum Income Floor).
