LCWRA is part of UC and is included as part of your maximum UC entitlement. You will have the work allowance on your claim, which means a certain amount of earnings from your partner are ignored before the 55% deductions apply. If you claim for help with the rent it will be £344, if you don't it will be £573.

If you're claiming New style ESA as well then this will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement. Whether there's any entitlement to UC will depend on you and your partners circumstances.

Use a benefits calculator and put you and your partners details into it and it will tell you if there's any entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=f60840f8-5f6c-4aac-84e6-3a3279e673e5

Impossible to advise without knowing all of your details.
