ESA going from income related to contribution

I need help,I've been taken off income related ESA to contribution ESA, the reason the dwp says is that my partner works 16 hours a week at minimum wage,they've know about my partner working from the very beginning, that was March 2017,then January of this year they changed me over,it took till the end of February/March to find out way,I've lost all my enhanced payments, I've got to pay more rent as my housing benefit has been reduced, can anyone tell me if this decision is right,I've tried arguing with the dwp,but all I get back is whilst my partner is working I've got to stay on contribution ESA,. Many thanks in advance

Logically your household income has increased so one would expect a reduction in ESA and HB/CTR but it’s always worth checking the amounts are correct.
