    I can only tell you the rules are they are in law and as a carer you should not be made to look for work or attend any further appointments after your first appointment.

    As you have phone data are you able to access your journal from that? It's much easier to have access to a journal when claiming UC rather than having to keep ringing the helpline because most of the time they are far from helpful.

    Again, that is not correct at all. There’s no new rules. 

    As I keep advising, as a carer claiming either carers allowance or carers element you should have no work requirements. Please see the link I posted above. 

    Please remember that when ringing the helpline you are speaking to someone from a call centre who mostly have very limited knowledge of UC or any other benefits.
