Thank you for your question. Please can I say some one from our community or a member of our team. Will know the answer.
Have you looked at our benefit advice PIP.
Have you spoken to CAB for benefit advice. They are worth contacting for advice, form filling. Have expertise and knowledge on a wealth of related issues to benefits.
We are a supportive friendly community. Care and share
Ask the community anything. Some one will know.
Hope that helps..
Take care

If the ONLY income your partner has, is PIP and a pension (not Pension Credit, Housing Benefit or Council Tax reduction) then her income will not be affected by you moving in. If she receives a Pension Credit top-up, or any other income-related benefits, it will be.
With your ESA, if it contains any part which is 'income-related' (as opposed to 'contributions based' then yes it will be affected.
This is because income based benefits are calculated in relation to an applicable amount for the household rather than the individual.
Another thing to watch for is whether you can still claim 'legacy benefits' such as ESA or Housing Benefit in your area at all, as most are now Universal Credit.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Mary
