Help for a friend

Hi.

I'm not New to the forum .. but have set up a new username for this particular query.
My friend has a condition that is getting worse on a weekly basis.
Her partner is considering giving up full time work to be her carer, but unsure what they can claim.
She is on pip at highest rate, and has ESA contributions based, and is in support group.
She has done calculations on turn to us and entitled too, but they came out with differences.
She is also unclear whether to make the claim for her partner on her claim, or him claim income support for them both.
Any help that the forum can give to steer them in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    Very odd. I look on the forum every day but didn't see this one at any time on the 14th. That could explain why there has been no reaction. I'm sure people will be along with detail suggestions soon.

    Assuming she has PIP care daily living, whichever is chosen, the total between both of them will be per week:

    Income Support / CA / ESA C
    £219.05

    ESA IR /CA/ ESA C
    £209.25
