edited February 4 in Universal Credit (UC)

i have been sent a "migration notice" to claim universal credit i receive ESA and enhanced PIP on daily and mobility and my husband claims carers allowance for me will he be expected to look for work if he is my full time carer? Im really worried because i have PTSD and depressive disorder and dont know how i will cope if he has to go to work related activities etc

    As a carer he will have no work commitments.

    Carers Allowance will be deducted in full from your UC award.

    He can also claim Carers Element under UC for looking after you.
