I need some advise regarding applying for UC
So I am migrating to UC soon
I work 37.5 hours fulltime - My husband does not work but has put on the form that he is a carer for his mother which he is but he does not claim carers allowance.
We just live off my salary, child tax credit and child benefit.
How will this affect UC claim

Does his mother claim a qualifying disability benefit such as PIP/ADP daily living, DLA mid/high rate care or AA? If so then he can claim carers element of UC for looking after her. He does need to make sure that she doesn't receive Severe disability Premium in another benefit because claiming CE or Carers allowance will stop the SDP.
