    LCWRA isn't a qualifying benefit for your son to potentially receive Carers Allowance and/or Carers Element (UC).

    You'd need to be getting one of these:

    • Personal Independence Payment - daily living component
    • Disability Living Allowance - the middle or highest care rate
    • Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance - the middle or highest care rate
    • Attendance Allowance
    • Pension Age Disability Payment
    • Constant Attendance Allowance at or above the normal maximum rate with an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
    • Constant Attendance Allowance at the basic (full day) rate with a War Disablement Pension
    • Armed Forces Independence Payment
    • Child Disability Payment - the middle or highest care rate
    • Adult Disability Payment - daily living component at the standard or enhanced rate

    Eligibility would also depend on what benefits your son already gets or how much he earns from working.
