    Hi,

    You can claim ADP at the same time as Carers Allowance, as long as there is no contradiction between the two.

    The assessors are likely to use the fact that you can offer 35 hours of care to another person as evidence against an ADP claim. So it is possible, you just have to be careful and not allow them to make inaccurate assumptions.
