Bankruptcy - Only income benefits - Partner works

Hi all,
I am considering bankruptcy as a serious option as an IVA doesn't appear to be working.
My income comprises solely of benefits (PIP, Housing Benefit/Council Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit), the WTC is still in my name from a few years back when I was working, I was in receipt of ESA which is no longer paid as my partner works over 24 hours per week. My situation is highly unlikely to change any time soon.

As my entire income is based on benefits would this mean that an IPA/IPO wouldn't be sought or do I become exempt from this as my partner works? Is the exemption of an IPA/IPO for benefits based on the income of the person going bankrupt or the household including partner?

Also, if a person who's only income is from benefits is exempt from an IPA/IPO does this mean that a SOA or budget is not required.

My debts are over £20,000 so unfortunately I would't be eligible to apply for a DRO.

The information I have used here is from insolvencydirect on bis.gov.uk (as a new user I am not allowed to provide a link)

Section (b) State benefits


31.7.40 IPA or IPO should not be sought where bankrupt’s sole income comprises state benefits

(Amended March 2014)

An IPA or IPO should not be sought where the bankrupt's only source of income is state benefits. In the context of this chapter "state benefits” refers to all forms of income supplement and support provided by central or local government including, but not limited to: income support, job seekers allowance, disability living allowances, incapacity benefit, industrial injuries disablement, council tax benefit, housing benefit, state retirement benefit (state pension), child benefit and all forms of tax credit (child, working and pension). Payments of a War Disability Pension (Naval, Military and Air Forces Etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions Order 2006), the bankrupt having been injured on active service, should be regarded as a state benefit. There is no requirement to undertake an assessment of real disposable income where the only source of the bankrupt's income is state benefits. In all other cases an assessment should be made even if part of the household income is derived from state benefits.
