    £73 plus £36.55 =£109,65  so it is Income related not contribution based 
    It says no income will be taken off my ESA because i am in the support group the amounts relate to 16 jan to 9 april ,

    That's Contributions based not income related. Your partner working doesn't affect CB benefits.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    thanks , but the income does matter to the Housing Benefit claim , or is Contribution based a passport benefit

    Housing benefit is completely different and is a means tested benefit. Your partners income will affect the amount you can claim.

    Only you can decide whether or not to accept the compensation offer.
