Hi

Are you allowed to claim carers allowance/elements for yourself if you are awarded PIP standard element? 

Or does your own carer have to claim this?

    No, you can’t claim either of those for looking after yourself. 

    What other benefits do you claim exactly? Are you living with a partner or just yourself?
