Hello 
I’m not well an I’m entitled to lwrca an pip

element 

I get Uc career elements as I’m career somedays prep his food an do stuff for him mostly spending time etc but my mental health an lyrically not well 

 mentally well need a break an I’m taking few days of as caring 

Does this affect Uc an how many times can you take break 

I took break few weeks ago for 11 days

When claiming carers element or carers allowance you don’t need to physically care for someone. Just spending time with them talking to them is all part of caring.

When you mention taking a “break” do you mean you’re going on holiday without your husband? 

If you’re claiming UC as a couple then you won’t each be receiving the LCWRA element because it’s only one element per claim.
