Hello👋🏿 Everyone😃! So I am on P.I.P and claiming Carers Allowence also UC..I currently care for my mother she is also my "Appointee" I am 30 years old..I am wanting to move out of my mothers flat and live on my own ..I'm wondering if any of my benefits would get stopped or if I will get less money ..Thankyou so much everyone for the help😃

You would get the same money, plus any help with rent & Council Tax that you are eligible for.

In a private rental you will be entitled to the one bedroom rate due to your PIP, if that includes Daily Living.

Often LHA doesn't cover the whole rent so you would need to make up any shortfall.
