Hi,
Well done on the award of PIP. This is a complicated question because it's your husbands Income Support claim and not yours. I'm guessing the reasons he claims Income Support is because he claims Carers Allowance for looking after someone, possible your daughter as she claims DLA? Anyway there's a disability premium payable with Income Support and couple rate is £46.40 per week but as i said i'm unsure if your eligible because you're on your husbands claim. Your husband will need to ring Income Support to ask them.

Yes i thought so. Her DLA wouldn't affect anything as it's hers anyway and she's claiming that in her own right. Your husband claim carers allowance for looking after her. Like i said because it's your husbands Income Support claim i'm unsure if this premium will be added but it maybe. Please ask your husband to ring them and ask. They may well already know about your PIP award as very often they know before you do. Benefits system is complicated and this question isn't one i've come accross before. Sorry i couldn't be of anymore help.
