Work-focused interviews for partners of Income Support claimants can be held after 26 weeks of a claim.

If you refer to the work resources section and scroll down, there is a guide entitled "Knowing your rights at Pathways to Work Interviews" which may be helpful for your partner. It can be accessed HERE.

There is no reason why you can't accompany her to the interview, although she will be expected to answer the questions. As for evidence of your medical condition and care requirements, if you have a care plan from social services this may be useful, otherwise you partner can tell the personal adviser of your medical condition and care needs at the interview.
