Help with what to do when my ESA runs out

hello everyone I need help concerning ESA.
basically I was in the ESA support group until last year when they moved me into the work group. I have done a mandatory reconsideration & also requested a tribunal as they say I do not fit into the category to stay in the support group but I feel I do.
Beibg in the ESA work group only lasts a year so Thisbe year it will run out & basically I will be screwed. When I went to the job centre he said he doesn’t know if I will be entitled to any other benefit because my partner works.
I feel eel I am basically being punished for being too ill to work! I have depression, anxiety, stress, borderline personality disorder, panic attack’s, audio processing disorder and some physical health issues like recovering from carpal tunnel in both hands.
im really worried about what my partner and I are suppose to do without my entitilement to any benefit.
Can an anyone please help?
I will I’ll go to the citizens advice bureau but was wondering if anyone could suggest another benefit I would be entitled to? My partner works full time. thank you

Have you applied for PIP ?
CR
Or a tribunal decides that you are FFW , though i belive if they think there is a likely hood of you loosing the award that you already have they are supposed to inform you before proceeding giving you the oppertunity to abandon the tribunal before it's heard
which you can save and fill in and print
You won’t qualify for income-related ESA if you have savings over £16,000.
And there is a limit on the hours that you or your partner can work iirc24 hrs a week for a partner and 16 for yourself, unless they have changed the goalposts
there may be more rules as well,
