Have other careers lost their disability premium paid with income support?

Even with my own health problems & being a carer I'd have no chance of getting PIP or DLA
I made it clear I receive income support & carers allowance, my issue is the fact that I was purposely mislead by the DWP being told in 2013 that i.s was ending & that I was first told I would continue to get the disability premium then three months later was told it wasn't payable with i.s0 -
The person I care for is registered blind we have no support whatsoever,I've tried contacting social services to ask how to obtain his certificate of visual impairment.. apparently they have no knowledge of him so cannot help... where do we go from there ? The fact that I'm his carer & save social services a fortune isn't a surprise they leave me to it ! The whole system is a disgrace0

So I'd be a unpaid carer ..that sounds right0

Lots of people care for others while claiming PIP their self, myself included. Providing your caring duties don’t contradict the reasons you’re claiming PIP.0 -

LCWRA element in UC, if applicable, is worth more than the carer element.0

If you started a claim for PIP and were successfully awarded at least daily living then you would be entitled to the disability and severe disability premium for your IS.If you claimed UC the disability premiums do not exist. Therefore if you think you can score enough points needed for a daily living award of PIP then you would be better off not claiming UC.0
