Universal credit carers element or carers allowance

tigerstar

good afternoon

My daughter has been awarded enhanced in both on PIP and I currently receive carers element on universal credit, what are the benefits of going to carers allowance as it seems like there is too much information to take in?

Thanks

Carers Allowance would be deducted in full from your UC award, so there is no financial gain to claiming.
