Help with my dmp please

So I have been on a debt management plan with the cccs for approximately a year, all going well, my circumstances have now changed as I'm moved in with my partner so my tax credits have dropped by a lot, the debt is purely mine will I have to include his earnings? Obviously I won't be able to pay as much to the dmp as before my outgoings have basically stayed the same, I don't pay towards the mortgage or bills but keep the house and buy food, will both of our incomes be taken into account even though the debt is solely mine and should just be taken on my income?

    Hi

    Due to your change in circumstances they will probably request a new F/S based on fair share contributions etc for priorities and essentials?
