I don't know what your conditions are or how they affect you but PIP isn't means tested. Do you claim this? If not see the PIP descriptors here. Evidence will be needed to support a claim.

For income-related ESA, there is an absolute rule that if you live with a partner who works 24 hours a week, then you cannot receive income-related ESA.
You can still get housing benefit and or council tax reduction, which are both income-based, and are paid irrespective of the number of hours a partner works.
If you live in a full service universal credit area though, you just may be able to claim that, because those regulations about a partner working 24 hours don't exist in universal credit.
As Sam_Scope says, a benefits check would tell you more.
