Your partner would need to be in receipt of either New style ESA or Contributions based ESA. UC LCWRA is not part of the criteria listed here.

Is he eligible for ESA and UC at the same time?

poppy123456 · August 2022

New style ESA can only be claimed if he's paid the correct amount of NI contributions from working in tax years April 2019 to March 2021.

And this can be claimed with UC?

Yes but it's deducted in full from any UC entitlement. He can check his NI contributions here. https://www.gov.uk/check-national-insurance-record he will need class 1 if he was PAYE or class 2 if he was self employed.

Welcome to the community @kate1712

Have you been able to look into whether he's paid enough NI contributions?
