If you want to claim your PLA and CCG you will have to provide his income details, and they have to be the 11/12 tax year details. You have to apply with these details first if you want any income assessed funding at all. It doesn't matter that he didn't live with you in 11/12 tax year - they use this year because it's the most recent year the HMRC can confirm for them.

After you have submitted your application fully, you can send in the CYI form to instead be assessed on estimates for 13/14: http://www.sfengland.slc.co.uk/media/592412/sfe_cyi_1314_d.pdf

Note that if you switch to a CYI basis, and your partner does start earning before the tax year ends, you may have to pay back some grant if it was awarded on the basis of no income.

he should only be receiving nothing if your income is sufficient to put you above benefit levels or he has savings above the cut off. So why is he not receiving any benefit payment?

As you've been told you can apply for your grant to be based on the current year position.
