Tax credit help please

I am currently on Income Support and live on my own with my child. However, I am thinking of letting my partner live with me who has a full-time job. If we were to apply for working tax credit, would I put household income for last tax year as £1500 (as that is what I earned in my part-time job) or do I put his income down as £15500?
