hi every
Im Shaz and I’m looking for advise please
My mum is severely disabled and I’m on universal credit
I spoke with an adviser and was told if I claim carers allowance my mum would lose her premium but won’t if I claim carers element
Is this right because a friend has told me she will lose her severe disability premium
My mum is on esa and high rate severe element of pip

The adviser you spoke to is incorrect and your friend is correct. Claiming carers element for your mum would also affect her SDP in the same way it would if you claim carers allowance.
