Hi,Do you know exactly what your ESA is made up of? Is it the Old Income Related ESA or is it Contributions based with an Income Related top up? Or New style ESA?If it's Income Related and you move in with your partner then you will need to report the changes to DWP and they will assess your circumstances as a couple.If your partner works more than 24 hours per week there will be no entitlement to ESA. If they work less than this whether there will be any entitlement to ESA will depend on how much they earn.If part of your ESA is Contributions based this won't be affected (£114.10 per week)Your Carers Allowance and their PIP will not be affected.It maybe worth you speaking to an advice agency near you for a full benefits check, this way you can tell them both of your circumstances and they will be able to advise you further. https://advicelocal.uk/
