I'm travelling from Edinburgh to London with my partner. She has a 1st class ticket from Berwick to London (and gets free standard class travel in Scotland). I have a standard class ticket from Edinburgh to London. I asked LNER's assistance team to reserve us seats together in standard class (she's disabled) but they said having tickets in different classes was a problem. Is sitting in standard class with a 1st class ticket not allowed?

It isn't a problem but it's possible they've misunderstood. First Class tickets are always valid in Standard Class.

Its no problem at all. A first class ticket is also valid in standard. You may also find that the staff in first class may be more then happy to still give her any free drinks and food if she asks and presents her ticket. I did this recently on a Glasgow to Wigan journey and travelled with my friend in standard. Staff were more than happy to give me my first class offerings.

They should honour the free refreshments, although you may have to go and get it.
