Before you claimed carers element did you check that the person claiming AA doesn't receive Pension Credit that includes the Severe disability Premium? If it does then this will end now you're claiming carers element, which could potentially affect any other benefits they are claiming, such as Housing benefit and council Tax reduction. 

Carers element was £185.86/month but it's just increased to £189.31/month. In your payment on 8th May you will receive £185.86 extra. This is because you will not see the increase in your UC until your June payment. 

The carers element will be included in your next payment. Do also be aware that once a decision is made on your WCA Tribunal if found to have LCWRA then you can't receive this element and carers element at the same time. You will only receive the higher element, which is LCWRA.
