    Hi,

    I'm assuming your partner claims carers allowance for looking after you, which is the reason why you're claiming Income Support?

    Best thing you can do is pop all your details into a benefits calculator or visit your local CAB for a full benefits check. However, you could possibly be claiming all you can claim but i can't confirm that without knowing all of your exactly details, which isn't possible on an internet forum.

    Hello @simon1234bunny and welcome to the community. :)

    It would depend on your individual circumstances so popping your details into a benefit calculator like Poppy has suggested is probably your best option.
