As you're a carer and your UC includes carers element then you have no work commiments anyway. You do not need to send a fit note for your UC.

As your partner is already receiving the LCWRA element on your claim, you should already be claiming your maximum UC entitlement anyway. So going through the work capability assessment will not make a difference to your claim.

To claim SSP from your employer, if you're entitled to it then you'll need to send a fit note for this. https://www.gov.uk/statutory-sick-pay/eligibility

Is that because you earn less than £123/week?

Just to confirm too - your UC calculation includes both the LCWRA element (for partner) and carer element (for you)? Your partner’s ESA and your CA are then deducted?
