when I had to stop working due to poor mental health 5 years ago, we downsized and payed off mortgage. 21 year old daughter home
any comments please in my carers issue. I think I’m posting into wrong category. Please help
What issue are you having with your carers?
hi thanks. My wife is my carer. She herself has been given lcwra but as I get it she recieves no money. Can she still be my carer or does that payment get replaced with an uplift in u/c. Also her pip request is being reviewed. Should be done by8th dec.
She can still claim carers element of UC for looking after you providing you claim a quality disability benefit.
If she claims carers allowance this is just deducted in full from UC so no financial gain.
cheers. Just 10 more weeks for a decision on pip review. Thankyou
