I don't know the detail for your boiler, but the basics are:
A combi incorporates two water circuits. That is a longish one including all the radiators and a shortish one which includes a water heat exchanger.
A diverter valve operates to open one circuit and close the other.
Hence you cant have both central heating and hot water at the same time.
So my opinion is your problem is related to the diverter valve.
When hot water is on and a hot tap is opened, there is a drop in pressure on one side of a diaphragm, the higher pressure on the other side pushes the diverter across and also triggers a switch.
These diaphragms seem to perish which results in insufficient movement of the diverter valve.
