Your Carers allowance will continue as normal but it will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement. The same rules applied when you were claiming Income Support.
The carers element will be included in your UC because you reported being a carer. Your UC will include, standard allowance, Carers element, housing element and any other elements you maybe entitled to. Then the deduction for carers allowance.
