Esa partner working between 23 and 24 hours a week on minimum wage

Good evening all,
My partner has recently left his previous job in the last few weeks. We have put in a joint claim for IR Esa, I used to claim ESA Income related up until we moved in together but since he moved in and was working 40 hours a week in his previous job I declared the change in circumstance and I was no longer entitled to it.
Currently going through the process of waiting to hear back from them after sending in a form with a detailed description that he is no longer working. He stopped working due to my needs, I couldn't cope on my own anymore. My mental and physical health seems to have worsened over the last 6 months. I am unable to work due to disability and long term illness. I am in receipt of high personal independence payment for both daily living and mobility.
Since my partner has left his previous job he's been getting frustrated. hes someone who likes to be doing something with his time.
He has questioned whether or not to get a part time job and after searching he's been offered a position for a part time role offering minimum wage and between 23-24 hours a week.
I wondered if you guys could please tell me if we would siill be entitled to ESA (IR)?
After much searching on the Internet I can't find any answers to my question.
Thanks in advance 😊

Thanks for your response 😊
Yes I did continue to receive ni credits, also I was in the support group when I claimed also received the severe disability premium.
I'm really confused as it says on the gov website that a partner can work up to 24 hours a week doing any type of paid work but their earnings may affect how much you get.
So much information to try to understand.
But I really appreciate our response so thank you 😊
