hi I have claimed carers element for my partner. We live together and she gets pip and lowrc. I’m worried that she will lose her lowrc or some of it. I don’t want her to feel like she realises on me and is paying for my help as she will deteriorate more and I need her to keep independents and learn to get stronger and better with her conditions. My question is will she lose anything from me claiming this? And also could I stop claiming this if she dose so she keeps her own money? Thank you for reading.

    The maximum entitlement for a couple is one LCWRA and one Carers Element. So your partner will not lose any money.
