Student loan after stopping work, what happens?

Hi,
It looks like I may stop work in the near future and will be supported by my partner.
I still have an outstanding balance on my SL. In recent months my repayments have stopped as the threshold was raised just above my annual salary.
The query I have is, what happens if I stop work? Will I be chased for payments or will it just sit there, accruing interest until I reach 65? (I'm on Plan 1) I won't have an actual salaried income anymore but will be supported by my other half.

If you stop work you won't need to make payments in the loan but interest will accrue. The loan will be written off as per this guidance:
