If you're LAT partner is terminally sick

[justdidit]

And not being paid from his/ her work... what level of support is appropriate , financially ?
See each other every weekend and somethings for a few days longer. He comes here for respite.
Not Ideal, not what I signed up for, but here we are. What's acceptable to you or what would be ?
Together two years.

Yes he would . But not in my house .

How can he help with childcare and housework but not work?
How long will he be able to help for?

It’s hard to answer without more detail.

it depends. Is this a scenario you discussed potentially occurring.

I know my grandfather and his partner laid out the rules for this type of situation when they embarked on their relationship. Their agreement was no caregiving. The relationship was to enhance their old age, not to provide additional responsibilities. That is part of why they never lived together.

My father hasn’t been as explicit with me about the details of his arrangement with his girlfriend, but I know it Includes helping one another with hospital trips and surgery recovery.

I'm in a 7 year LAT relationship and have mental illnesses that prevent me from working. I don't receive any financial support at all from my partner and we spend a few hours every few weeks together, so very little emotional support. Definitely not what I signed up for but it is what it is. Is he claiming PIP if you're in the UK? I found in my last relationship having my PIP helped take a bit of pressure from him having to support me financially

I am in the US.

Contact social security. He should qualify for disability and Medicare if he has no assets.

Mediaid sorry

@justdidit There should be some sickness/disability benefits he's entitled to and he should claim it, or it isn't fair on you.

Phone citizens advice. Ask them all options they should be able to help. I’m not sure if you are thinking of him being with you more so you can claim or if he can.
