Hi all

Just found this community I have arthritis, mobility issues ,incontinence long covid and fibromyalgia

I have a query regarding carers element on UC

We have a joint UC claim

My husband is retired and on full state pension

I receive support group esa and both components of pip

My husband cares for me . Can we claim carers element ? I find it a bit confusing!

Look forward to chatting with you

Mixed age couples mean benefit advice can be quite complex.

So I would recommend talking to a trained benefits advisor.
