When did your partner move in, March?
When did you claim UC?
I'm afraid the maximum period that a UC claim can be backdated is one month.

Hi Sarah
Anyone who claims UC and are in receipt of legacy benefits (WTC, CTC, HB, IR ESA, IR JSA and IS) will loose their legacy benefits and you will not be able to reclaim any legacy benefits.
When your partner moved in, in October you would have what is called a change of circumstances, depending on your partners condition, ie. do they receive any qualifying benefits in their own name, if not, then when you applied for UC any legacy benefits would cease.
www.disabilityrightsuk.org/legacybenefits
CB ESA/JSA are not classed as legacy benefits, they are based on your NI contributions and they will continue to be paid, if you are placed in the support group you will continue to be paid until you are re-assessed found either fit for work or placed in the WRAG.

So the stopping of your ESA(IR) in March is not connected to your partner moving in, was there any other Change that might have removed your entitlement? Have the DWP explained there Decision?
