in Universal Credit (UC)
I receive lcwra and my partner is self employed earning at the moment between 500-1000 a month depending on work due to cold weather which will pick up more in summer

we was told minimum floor income applies to him due to my lcwra 

However Jc are saying he needs to attend appointments

    Your LCWRA makes no difference to whether or not the MIF applies to him.

    (I assume you meant you were told MIF doesn’t apply to your LCWRA.)

    Do your receive PIP, if so do you get the Daily Living component?

    It’s not necessary but depending on how your health affects you it is certainly worth considering whether you might qualify because PIP would give you extra money.

    If you received Daily Living PIP your partner could be treated as your carer and then the MIF would not apply.
