    Unfortunately what has happened is correct and you aren't the only one affected.

    Because LCWRA was awarded, this replaced Carers Element as the same person cannot get both. Also your Transitional Protection was reduced.

    There was an Upper Tribunal court hearing on the matter in October last year, the outcome of which isn't yet known.
