For you to be able to claim carers element for looking after your partner then they must be claiming either daily living PIP/ADP or DLA mid/high rate care. If they are then you do not have to wait 1 month.

The same person can't receive carers element at the same time as the LCWRA element.

they said it’s not been a month as I’ve started caring as I started 14 august I need to wait for one month Assasemnt period to be paid

so no career element will be paid this Assasemnt period 18 July - 19 August as its only been 5 days caring
