My partner has 2 clients remaining, that's just £1600pm for us (I'm disabled and can't work- currently going through PIP assessment process that's been going on a year now).

Our rent is £650pm and UC says we would be entitled to just £220pm.

They will suspend minimum floor income which is why your entitlement on a benefit calculator is showing low. claim it anyway and tqlk to your landlord. They are suspending evictions for 3 months i think.
Do you have any insurance policy or savings or assets?
If your landlord were to evict you i doubt theyd find someone soon now anyway so its in their interest to cooperate. If you have credit cards look at whether the bank is giving any reduction or flexibility. Rent and council tax are essential so pay what you can and prioritise them over anything else, though speak to suppliers to let them know you are struggling. You arent the only ones going through this. Im sorry xxxSad
