    Hi,

    No you won't get any less money. Your sister claiming carers element does not affect your own UC claim.

    I responded to you on another thread where you asked the same question and this was my reply…

    Those that are in the Support Group for ESA are financially better off by claiming UC. This is because LCWRA with UC pays more than ESA Support Group, when your ESA doesn't include the Severe disability Premium. If you're 25 and over then I would expect your UC entitlement to be about £120/month more than ESA Support Group.
