Permitted work can be done with income based ESA.
However, you can only (in the work-related group) do permitted work from 12 months from when you first started it at over 20 pounds a week.

Income based ESA - with your partner on your claim - I think is the best option, for the moment, if you have no other household income.

I'm know permitted work doesn't affect your ESA. I am not quite sure if it affects the couples component.
