help with benefits advisor

hi- im trying to use benefit advisor to work out my income when my partner & i move in together- i have been on my own for a long time & would like to be ahead of the game information wise- the section im having a problem with is the section where it asks for your household income in certain tax years, now do i put my income or my partners as im really not sure as i had no taxable income and he works full time. The amounts that it summarises seem dreadfully high!

if anyone can help me I would be very greatful- thank you

    You would put your joint income.
    Any means tested benefits you get will most likely be reduced or stopped depending on his income
