Sorry, but there is not enough information for us to help with benefits.

So,
Are you working? if so how many hours and how much is your salary? Are you claiming any benefits at the moment?

Your partner

Is he working? If so, how many hours and how much is his salary?

How many children? Ages?

Do you rent/mortgage on house?

Your partner needs to see his GP. This is not fair on you or the children.

I suffer from depression & I found that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps, just changing the way you think can change your whole outlook on life

I agree with Heartbreak Star, deal with the physical issues of depression first and get your partner to see his GP.

As pmlindyloo says, you need to provide more information to get advice on financial help.

5 minutes after you first posted your original question.

You have still not provided any additional information to enable anyone to help you any further.

Maybe you would like to look at the questions pmlindyloo asked you 6 weeks ago and give some answers.

Thanks.
